A. Wrist
B. Thigh
C. Jaws
D. Fingers

Answer 1

Hint: In ordinary Language, muscular "strength" usually refers to the ability to exert a force on an external object. For example- lifting a weight. The muscle which will exert stronger force termed as the strongest muscle in the body.

Complete answer:
Masseter or the jaw muscle is the strongest muscle in the body in terms of exerting a force. The masseter is found within the jaw and is one among the muscles of mastication or chewing. An average man has a bite strength of between 117 to 265 pounds.
Our jaw is a set of bones that holds your teeth. It consists of two main parts. The upper part is the maxilla. It doesn't move. The moveable lower part is called the mandible. We move it when we talk or chew. The two halves of the mandible meet at our chin. The joint where the mandible meets our skull is the temporomandibular joint.

Addition information:
- Muscle is soft tissue.
- Muscles function to supply force and motion.
- They are primarily liable for maintaining and changing posture, locomotion, also as movement of internal organs.
- Muscle tissues are derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells during a process referred to as myogenesis.
- There are three sorts of muscle, skeletal or striated, cardiac, and smooth.

So, the correct answer is ‘jaws’.

Note: Many various muscles could be considered strongest, depending upon exactly what quiet strength there are alternative ways to measure strength. The gluteus maximus muscle is regarded as one of the strongest muscles in the human body, which is responsible for movement of the hip and thigh.
