Options
(a) The central gap between myosin filaments in the A-band
(b) The central gap between actin filaments extending through myosin filaments in the A-band
(c) Extension of myosin filaments in the central portion of the A-band
(d) The absence of myofibrils in the central portion of A-band
Correct Answer:
