The correct answer is A

Creatinine kinase (CK) is an enzyme, found primarily in muscle and brain tissue, which exists as three dimeric isoenzymes — CKMM (CK-3), CK-MB (CK-2), and CK-BB (CK-1) — built from subunits designated M and B.

The CK-MB isoenzyme, which has a molecular mass of approximately 87,000 daltons, accounts for 5 to 50% of total CK activity in myocardium.

In skeletal muscle, by contrast, it normally accounts for just 1% or less, CK-MM being the dominant form, though the percentage can be as high as 10% in conditions reflecting skeletal muscle injury and regeneration (e.g. severe exercise, muscular dystrophy, polymyositis).
