a
b

Explanation:

Eccentric muscle contraction is when a muscle lengthens while under tension (contracting). Option A describes this (muscle gets longer as it contracts). Option B is concentric contraction (muscle shortens). Option C (isometric) is when length doesn't change, and D is also isometric - like. So A is correct.

Answer:

A. gets longer as it contracts
