The bundles of organelles found in a muscle fiber are called
A
muscle fibers
B
myofibrils
C
myofilaments
D
myofascicles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A myofibril (also known as a muscle fibril or sarcostyle) is a basic rod-like organelle of a muscle cell. Skeletal muscles are composed of long, tubular cells known as muscle fibers, and these cells contain many chains of myofibrils. Each myofibril has a diameter of 1–2 micrometres.

Detailed explanation-2: -To meet this energy demand, muscle cells contain mitochondria. These organelles, commonly referred to as the cell’s “power plants, ” convert nutrients into the molecule ATP, which stores energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The myofibrils are made up of thick and thin myofilaments, which give the muscle its striped appearance. The thick filaments are composed strands of the protein myosin, and the thin filaments are strands of the protein actin, along with two other muscle regulatory proteins, tropomyosin and troponin.
