B
False

Detailed explanation-1: -Depolarisation and calcium ion release. Actin and myosin cross-bridge formation. Sliding mechanism of actin and myosin filaments. Sarcomere shortening (muscle contraction)

Detailed explanation-2: -Ca++ pumped back in sarcoplasmic reticulum. release of Ca++ from troponin. cessation of interaction between actin and myosin.
