  1. Myosin

  2. Actin

  3. Tropomyosin

  4. Troponin


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  • The main contractile components of a muscle fibre include:
  •  Thick filaments - The major protein of a thick filament is myosin. 
  • Thin filaments - The major proteins of a thin filament include actin, as well as troponin and tropomyosin. Hence, Major protein in thick filaments of skeletal muscle fibre is myosin.
So, the correct answer is 'myosin'.
