B: bicep curl

Step-by-step explanation:

In a bicep curl the muscle in the biceps contracts or shortens creating a tension on the muscle. During concentric contraction a lot of force is generated that allows the movement of an object such as a dumbbell. As the dumbbell is moved to the shoulder the bicep bulges or contracts. Concentric contraction is used for muscular hypertrophy.
