The correct answer is: C) thin filaments are anchored here

The basic unit of striated muscle tissue is sarcomere. The borders of the sarcomere are Z lines where the thin molecules (actin) bind. I-band is the zone that contains only thin filaments. H-band is the zone of only thick filaments (myosin). The A band is the zone in the center of the sarcomere where thick and thin filaments overlap.
