Which of the following is the correct sequence of events in cross-bridge cycling?

A. Myosin cross-bridge binds to actin, the powerstroke moves the thin filament relative to the thick filament, ATP binds to myosin and cross-bridge detachment occurs, ATP is hydrolyzed and the myosin head is "cocked." B. The powerstroke moves the thin filament relative to the thick filament, myosin cross-bridge binds to actin, ATP binds to myosin and cross-bridge detachment occurs, ATP is hydrolyzed and the myosin head is "cocked." C. Myosin cross-bridge binds to actin, ATP is hydrolyzed and the myosin head is "cocked," the powerstroke moves the thin filament relative to the thick filament, ATP binds to myosin and cross-bridge detachment occurs. D. Myosin cross-bridge binds to actin, ATP binds to myosin and cross-bridge detachment occurs, the powerstroke moves the thin filament relative to the thick filament, ATP is hydrolyzed and the myosin head is "cocked."
