Select the correct statements regarding mechanism of muscle contraction.
A. It is initiated by a signal sent by CNS via sensory neuron.
B. Neurotransmitter generates action potential in the sarcolemma.
C. Increased Ca++ level leads to the binding of calcium with troponin actin filaments.
D. Masking of active site for actin is activated.
E. Utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis to form cross bridge.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

According to the sliding filament theory:
1. Actin and myosin filaments slide over each other to increase the length of the sarcomere.
2. Length of A–band does not change.
3. I–band increases in length
4. The actin filaments slide away from A–band resulting in shortening of sarcomere
