Answer:

Calcium

Step-by-step explanation:

The concentration of calcium ions in the myoplasm leads to the development of force necessary for the movement of actin and myosin molecule. The calcium ions cling the cross bridge formation during muscle contraction.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
