Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

Muscles can be distinguished based on structure and function, like- skeletal, cardiac and smooth. Each one has distinct roles and attributes.

Voluntary muscles may be attached to the skeleton, use ATP to energize contration and could be striated in appearance. Therefore, statements B, C & D are correct attributes for skeletal muscles. However, they are not the reasons why skeletal muscles are called voluntary muscles.

Therefore, option (A) is correct.
