Afonso Borelli (1608-1679), who studied under the guidance of one of Galileo's disciples, endeavored to correctly apply mathematical formulas to problems of muscular movement. In his treatise De Motu Animalium, Borelli sought to demonstrate that animals are machines. Choose the alternative that corresponds to the theory attributed to Borelli's studies:


a. Theory that bones serve as levers and muscles assist movement following mathematical principles.
b. Theory that bones participate in movement and muscles are the levers.
c. Theory that bones serve as levers and muscles do not participate in movement, following principles.
d. Theory that bones serve as levers and muscles do not participate in movement.
