The capacity of a muscle cell to shorten forcefully is known asextensibility.
A
elasticity.
B
flexibility.
C
excitability.
D
contractility.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Contractibility– It is the ability of muscle cells to shorten forcefully. Extensibility– A muscle has the ability to be stretched. Elasticity– The muscles have the ability to recoil back to its original length after being stretched.

Detailed explanation-2: -Muscle extensibility: ability of a muscle to extend to a predetermined endpoint.

Detailed explanation-3: -Excitability-ability to respond to stimuli; Contractibility-ability to contract; Extensibility-ability of a muscle to be stretched without tearing; Elasticity-ability to return to its normal shape.
