Show Hint
In muscle fibers, the M-line is the central line in the sarcomere where the thick myosin filaments are anchored. It is crucial for maintaining the structure during muscle contraction.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In the structure of the myofibril, the thick filaments in a sarcomere are connected by a fibrous membrane. This membrane is known as the M-line. The M-line plays a crucial role in the structural integrity and the alignment of thick filaments (myosin) within the sarcomere.
