Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

A voluntary muscle is a skeletal muscle that is attached to bones and can be controlled voluntarily by the brain. These muscles are responsible for the movement of the limbs, head, neck, and other parts of the body. They are under cognitive control and can be contracted or relaxed at will. This is in contrast to involuntary muscles, such as smooth and cardiac muscles, which function automatically without conscious control.
