Answer: (B) Shrunken

Step-by-step explanation:

When the muscle atrophied, then it is the process of loss of mass of the skeletal muscle. The muscle atrophy is mainly caused by the malnutrition, aging and due to the lack of physical activities. The muscle atrophy lead various types of disability in the body and also cause weakness in the body muscles.

When the muscles has atrophied them the muscles get shrunken and due to this it is difficult to move the muscles of arms and legs. It results into the lack of mobility in the body muscles.

Therefore, Option (B) is correct.
