Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of skeletal muscle: Skeletal muscles are muscles that are attached to bones and are responsible for voluntary movements of the body.

Differentiate between voluntary and involuntary muscles: Voluntary muscles are those that can be consciously controlled, such as skeletal muscles. Involuntary muscles, like cardiac and smooth muscles, operate without conscious control.

Consider the role of the nervous system: The somatic nervous system controls voluntary muscles, allowing for conscious movement, while the autonomic nervous system controls involuntary muscles.

Analyze the options given: 'Involuntary' and 'Autonomic' refer to muscles that are not under conscious control, while 'Reflexive' refers to automatic responses that can involve both voluntary and involuntary muscles.

Conclude that skeletal muscle is 'Voluntary' because it is under conscious control, allowing individuals to decide when to move these muscles.
