Consider the following statements with respect to mechanism of muscle contraction
(a) Binding of calcium with the subunit of tropomyosin removes the masking of active sites for myosin
(b) Z-lines move towards the centre of ‘H’ zone
(c) Cross bridge is formed by utilising the energy from hydrolysis of ATP
(d) H-zone disappears when a muscle fibre is maximally contracted

Select the option with the correct statement
1. a and c only
2. b and d only
3. a, c and d
4. b, c and d
