The ability of a muscle to be stretched beyond its original length
A
Contractability
B
Elasticity
C
Excitability
D
Extensibility
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Extensibility means that muscles can be stretched to their normal resting length and beyond to a limited degree. Elasticity means that if muscles are stretched, they recoil to their original resting length.

Detailed explanation-2: -Extensibility is the ability of a muscle to be stretched. For instance, let’s reconsider our elbow flexing motion we discussed earlier. In order to be able to flex the elbow, the elbow extensor muscles must extend in order to allow flexion to occur. Lack of extensibility is known as spasticity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Extensibility is the ability of a muscle to be stretched or extended. Elasticity is the ability to a muscle to return to its original length when relaxed.

Detailed explanation-4: -For the purposes of this article, muscle extensibility is defined as the ability of a muscle to extend to a predetermined endpoint.

Detailed explanation-5: -extensibility. The property of muscle that gives it the ability to stretch without damage is extensibility. Extensibility is one of the most important characteristics of muscle tissues.
