Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A skeletal muscle cell will.
A
have multiple nuclei, striations and voluntary
B
have single nucleus, striations and voluntary
C
have single nucleus, no striations, and involuntary
D
have a single nucleus, striation and involuntary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscle fibers are cylindrical, multinucleated, striated, and under voluntary control. Smooth muscle cells are spindle shaped, have a single, centrally located nucleus, and lack striations. They are called involuntary muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscle cells are long, cylindrical, and striated. They are multi-nucleated meaning that they have more than one nucleus. This is because they are formed from the fusion of embryonic myoblasts. Each nucleus regulates the metabolic requirements of the sarcoplasm around it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscle is voluntary and responds to conscious stimuli. The cells are striated and multinucleated appearing as long, unbranched cylinders. Cardiac muscle is involuntary and found only in the heart. Each cell is striated with a single nucleus and they attach to one another to form long fibers.
