segment of myofibril extending from one z-line to the next
A
sarcolemma
B
sarcoplasm
C
sarcomere
D
fascicle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A sarcomere is the region from one Z line to the next Z line. Many sarcomeres are present in a myofibril, resulting in the striation pattern characteristic of skeletal muscle. Myofibrils are composed of smaller structures called myofilaments .

Detailed explanation-2: -The area between two Z lines, a sarcomere, can be considered to be the primary structural and functional unit directly responsible for muscle contraction.…

Detailed explanation-3: -A. one Z line to the next Z line.

Detailed explanation-4: -The portion of the myofibril that lies between two successive Z discs is called a sarcomere. Sarcomeres are the contractile elements of the muscle cell, and a myofibril is therefore a long string of sarcomeres organized end to end.

Detailed explanation-5: -The part between the two Z-lines is called a sarcomere.
