Sagot :

Answer:

D. A positive contraction

Isometric contraction occurs when muscle length remains relatively constant as tension is produced. So that is not the right answer.

A concentric contraction is a type of muscle contraction in which the muscles shorten while generating force. It is also called positive contraction.
