A
Skeletal
B
Smooth
C
Cardiac
D
Adipose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart, appear striped (striated), and are under involuntary control. Smooth muscle fibers are located in walls of hollow visceral organs (such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines), except the heart, appear spindle-shaped, and are also under involuntary control.

Detailed explanation-2: -Smooth muscle and Cardiac muscles are involuntary muscles which are found in organs where voluntary movement is impossible, like the alimentary canal or the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Voluntary muscles can be controlled by our conscious thought, e.g. the muscles in our hands as we catch a ball. Involuntary muscles, like those that control the beating of the heart, do not require conscious thought to make them move even though their action is still controlled by the nervous system.
