Limited regeneration
A
Cardiac
B
Smooth
C
Skeletal
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscles have some ability to regenerate and form new muscle tissue, while cardiac muscle cells do not regenerate. However, new research suggests that cardiac stem cells may be coaxed into regenerating cardiac muscles with new medical strategies. Smooth muscle cells have the greatest ability to regenerate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Muscle: Muscle regeneration After dividing, the cells fuse with existing muscle fibres, to regenerate and repair the damaged fibres. The skeletal muscle fibres themselves, cannot divide. However, muscle fibres can lay down new protein and enlarge (hypertrophy). Cardiac muscle can also hypertrophy.
