Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the characteristics of each type of muscle tissue: Smooth muscle, Cardiac muscle, and Skeletal muscle.
Understand that 'voluntary' refers to muscle movement that is consciously controlled, while 'striated' refers to the appearance of the muscle fibers under a microscope.
Smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated, meaning it is not under conscious control and does not have a striped appearance.
Cardiac muscle is involuntary but striated, meaning it has a striped appearance but is not under conscious control.
Skeletal muscle is both voluntary and striated, meaning it is under conscious control and has a striped appearance, making it the correct answer.
