D. John and Tyrell both have excellent muscular endurance, but Tyrell has better muscular strength

The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Muscular strength is defined as the ability to exert tension on a load, this ability depends on the contractility of the muscle tissue, that is, the ability to overcome external resistance or to react to it through muscular tension. According to the characteristics of each sport, in disciplines such as throwing and jumping, a combination of rapid strength with maximum effort of muscular contraction is performed, resulting in rapid movement and with a high degree of recruitment of fibers. Muscular endurance is the ability to exert submaximal stresses repeatedly over a period of time; In other words, it is the ability to exercise a large number of times or maintain muscle contraction for an extended period of time.
