The correct answer is postural muscles.

Postural muscles are muscles with the function to sustain posture in the gravity field. In response to stimuli such as over-use, under-use or trauma, postural muscles tend to shorten. This type of muscles is sometimes called tonic muscles because they have high resting tonus.
