Correct Answer

Explanation

Muscles have several properties such as elasticity, extensibility, excitability and contractibility. These properties can help classify muscles based on their function and structure. However, excitability is not a basis of classification for muscles. Muscles can be classified based on their appearance, such as smooth or striated; their location, such as axial or appendicular; and their regulation of activities, such as voluntary or involuntary.
