True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main functions of skeletal muscle are to contract to produce movement, sustain body posture and position, maintain body temperature, store nutrients, and stabilize joints.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscles are the most common muscles in your body. You use them to move your bones, so they play a vital role in everyday activities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscles can pull bones, but they can’t push them back to the original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint. Then, when the movement is completed, the flexor relaxes and the extensor contracts to extend or straighten the limb at the same joint.

Detailed explanation-4: -Skeletal muscle is one of the three significant muscle tissues in the human body. Each skeletal muscle consists of thousands of muscle fibers wrapped together by connective tissue sheaths. The individual bundles of muscle fibers in a skeletal muscle are known as fasciculi.
