Skeletal muscle
A
attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other.
B
It is a form of striated muscle tissue which is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system.
C
comprised of a series of muscle fibers made of muscle cells.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other. Unlike smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your muscle fibers contract (tense up) in response to the message. When the muscle activates or bunches up, it pulls on the tendon. Tendons attach muscles to bones. The tendon pulls the bone, making it move.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscle is attached by cord-like tendons to bone, such as in the legs, arms, and face. Skeletal muscles are called striated (pronounced: STRY-ay-ted) because they are made up of fibers that have horizontal stripes when viewed under a microscope.

Detailed explanation-4: -Skeletal muscles run from one bone to another, usually passing at least one joint. Each muscle is comprised of muscle tissue, blood vessels, nerves and tendons. Skeletal muscles are usually attached to the bone by tendons.

Detailed explanation-5: -Organ Systems Involved Skeletal muscle is found throughout the body, attached to bones via tendons.
