Answer 1

Answer: D. Slow twitch muscles

Slow twitch muscles have red muscle fibres that are rich in red pigment myoglobin and contain numerous mitochondria and provide slow, sustained contraction aerobically in contrast to white muscles or fast twitch muscles which contain lesser number of mitochondria and are palish and work anaerobically.
