B) In incomplete tetanus, the muscle is producing near-peak tension during rapid cycles of contraction and relaxation. Wave summation refers to the addition of one twitch to another. C) In incomplete tetanus, the muscle is continuously contracting with no relaxation. Wave summation refers to the addition of one twitch to another. D) In incomplete tetanus, the muscle generates a slightly higher maximum tension with each successive stimulus after each relaxation phase.
