A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscles have an abundant supply of blood vessels and nerves. This is directly related to the primary function of skeletal muscle, contraction. Before a skeletal muscle fiber can contract, it has to receive an impulse from a nerve cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vascular inflow to skeletal muscles is provided by primary arteries, which represent the last branches of the arterial supply that arise before entry into the tissue (Figure 1) [32, 58, 602].

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscle is supplied by somatic nerves. The nerve to a skeletal muscle is a mixed nerve containing 60% motor and 40% sensory fibers.
