Options are not provided in the question. Th equestion is as follows:

_________ the property of skeletal muscle whereby an increase in the frequency of action potentials enhances the force developed by the muscle cell?

a. length-tension relationship

b. force-velocity relationship

c. internal tension

d. external tension

e. summation

Answer: e. summation

Step-by-step explanation:

Summation is the property of skeletal muscle which occurs through continuous addition of signals or stimuli together that produces a stronger contraction in the muscles.

If the motor neurons are increased, it results increment in action potential and hence increases the amount of active motor units in a muscle, which is called recruitment.

Hence, the correct option is e. summation
