a. broken
b. shrunken
c. torn
d. strained
please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Muscle atrophy refers to the decrease in muscle mass and size, which means the muscle becomes shrunken. "Broken" (A) is not the right term for muscle atrophy. "Torn" (C) refers to a muscle tear, not atrophy. "Strained" (D) is muscle overstretching. So the correct description for an atrophied muscle is shrunken.

Answer:

B. shrunken
