Answer
- Soln:
Answer is (d) Skeletal muscles contract and pull the tendon to move the bones
Explanation:
While doing work and running, you move your organs like hands, legs etc, skeletal muscles contract and they pull the tendon, connecting muscles to bones. This will make bones to move and they do not pull the ligament as that will cause a sprain or stretch.
