Answer: A. neither can be accepted as correct because muscles growth is difficult to study in humans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypertrophy can be defined as the increase in the fiber size of the muscle whereas the hyperplasia can be defined as the increase in the number of muscle fibers. Additionally the hypertrophy suggests that adding more proteins to the fibers is suggestive of the growth of the muscles. But these two theories cannot be directly related to the muscle growth in humans as the development and growth of muscles are dependent upon several factors like diet, any kind of disease which restrict the muscle growth and movement, physical activities, mineral availability responsible for growth, malnutrition, and others.
