Answer 1

isometric or B

Step-by-step explanation:

Isometric (Steady)

"An isometric contraction forces muscles to hold still as they work. During this kind of contraction, the muscles do not stretch, bend, shorten, or lengthen—they just hold a certain position with equal force on all sides. Even though the muscle is not moving, it still has tension and is still working,"
