Explanation:

Muscle atrophy refers to the decrease in muscle mass and size, often due to disuse, aging, or disease. "Shrunken" (option B) accurately describes the state of an atrophied muscle as it reduces in size. "Broken" (A) and "torn" (C) refer to structural damage, and "strained" (D) refers to overstretching or tearing of muscle fibers, none of which match the definition of atrophy.

Answer:

B. shrunken
