extendible
elastic
excitable
contractile

Explanation:

• Extendible: Refers to the ability to be stretched, not to return to original shape.
• Elastic: Correct. Elasticity in muscle tissue is the ability to return to original shape after being stretched or compressed.
• Excitable: Relates to the muscle's ability to respond to stimuli (like nerve impulses), not shape - return.
• Contractile: Refers to the ability to shorten (contract), not to regain original shape.

Answer:

Elastic
