A) Gastrocnemus
B) Biceps
C) Trapezius
D) Deltoid
Expert Solution
Introduction

Muscles are soft tissues present in most animals. They contain protein filaments called actin and myosin that produces contraction, which changes the length and shape of the cell. Muscles are vital for producing force and motion. Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle are the three types of muscles in the body.

People frequently do this exercise with the intention of strengthening muscles such as the latissimus dorsi and biceps, which extends the shoulder and flex the elbow respectively and it involves the muscle groups of biceps, trapezius, and deltoid. Gastrocnemus muscle is a superficial two headed muscle that is in the back part of the lower leg of the humans. It does not involve in the chin-ups. Therefore, the option A is correct.
