Which of the following is correct about the given figure?
(1) The length of the thick and thin myofilaments has changed.

The H-Zone in the skeletal muscle fibre is due to
(1) the central gap between actin filaments extending through myosin filaments in the A-band
(2) extension of myosin filaments in the central portion of the A-band
(3) the absence of myofibrils in the central portion of A-band
(4) the central gap between myosin filaments in the A-band
Consider the diagram given below.
Parts labelled as A, B, C, D, E and F respectively indicate.
