Solution

The correct option is D Sarcoplasm
  • Each muscle fibre(muscle cell) is lined by the plasma membrane called sarcolemma enclosing the sarcoplasm(cytoplasm of muscle fibre).
  • Sarcoplasm is a water solution containing ATP and phosphagens, as well as the enzymes and intermediate and product molecules involved in many metabolic reactions. The most abundant metal in the sarcoplasm is potassium.
  • Hence The cytoplasm of muscle fibre is known as sarcoplasm.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Sarcoplasm'.
