Solution

The correct answer is tropomyosin. During muscle contraction, the binding sites for myosin on the actin filament are uncovered by the movement of tropomyosin, a protein that wraps around actin in a resting muscle. When the muscle cell is stimulated to contract, tropomyosin moves away, exposing the binding sites for myosin to attach and pull on the actin filament, causing contraction.
