The answer is letter C.

As we age the connection of our motor nerves to
our muscle fibers tend to deteriorate. When this happens we tend to lose our
balance and coordination as well as our overall
muscular strength and endurance through time. This explains why we cannot
perform some activities that we do when we were younger when we turn into
adults. The brain is already having a hard time to recruit the necessary
stimulus to be sent to the muscle fibers to perform necessary
actions. This is why the human body is always compared to a ticking clock
where any moment it could just give up because of its deteriorating nature. 

Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

Muscles are the important tissue of the body as they helps in the control of the body movements. Three different types of muscles are skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.

As the individual grows older the connection between the muscle fibers and the motor nerves get disconnected. This connection is important as it helps in the coordination of the body and sends the signal from the brain to the effector muscles. This disconnection result in the loss of coordination and body movements.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
