Q. In the thin filament of skeletal muscle fibre, a small globular protein that masks the active sites on the F-actin L, is

A) G-actin
B) Actin
C) Tropomyosin
D) Troponin
Explanation

The thin filament of skeletal muscle fibre is composed of three distinct proteins, $i.e.,\$actin, tropomyosin and troponin. Troponin-I inhibits the F-actin –mysosin intraction and also binds to other components of troponin. Tropomyosin is fibrous molecule that attaches to F-actin in the groove between its filaments.
