Read the following statements and choose the correct option:
Statement I: During contraction of skeletal muscles, calcium binds with troponin so that myosin head binding sites on actin are exposed.

(a)Both statements are correct.
(b)Both statements are incorrect.
(c)Only statement I is correct.
(d)Only statement II is correct.
