C

Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the types of muscle tissue in the human body. There are three main types: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.
Step 2: Recall that skeletal muscle tissue is typically attached to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements, including facial expressions.
Step 3: Recognize that cardiac muscle tissue is found only in the heart and is responsible for involuntary contractions that pump blood.
Step 4: Know that smooth muscle tissue is found in walls of internal organs like the intestines and blood vessels and controls involuntary movements.
Step 5: Since facial muscles control voluntary movements such as facial expressions and are under conscious control, they are classified as skeletal muscle tissue.
