Myofilaments slide and muscles shorten creating movement in
A
isotonic contraction
B
isometric contractions
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Isometric Contractions Do Not Shorten Muscle, Whereas Isotonic Contractions Shorten Muscle at a Constant Tension.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sliding filament model describes the process used by muscles to contract. It is a cycle of repetitive events that causes actin and myosin myofilaments to slide over each other, contracting the sarcomere and generating tension in the muscle.
