ANS: B
Rationale: When skeletal muscle is at rest, a small number of myosin crossbridges bind to actin but the crossbridge heads do not swivel. The longer muscle is immobile, the greater the number of actin-myosin weak bonds and the greater the muscle resistance to stretch. The hamstring stiffness upon standing after prolonged sitting is due to weak actin-myosin bonds.
