Answer:

They became closer to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

When skeletal muscles contracts the Z lines that are at the end of every sarcomere became closer to each other due to the fact that the I bands that are attached to the Z lines and contains the myosin filaments move closer to each other interacting with the actin filaments and shorten the the H zone that is in the middle of the sarcomere. In other words, It all becomes compact during a contraction.
