Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -

(c)

Sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Each muscle fibre is lined by the plasma membrane called sarcolemma enclosing the sarcoplasm. Muscle fibre is a syncitium as the sarcoplasm contains many nuclei. The endoplasmic reticulum, i.e., sarcoplasmic reticulum of the muscle fibres is the store house of calcium ions. A characteristic feature of muscle fibre is the presence of large number of parallely arranged filaments in the sarcoplasm called myofilaments or myofibrils
