Rigor mortis upon death is due to
A) depleted calcium availability, so actin is "frozen" away from myosin
B) calcium released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum floods the cell, causing a massive contraction event
C) actin polymers break down quickly with cell death, "freezing" the cell in place
D) depleted ATP keeps the ADP-myosin-actin complex "frozen" in its contractile state
E) depleted ATP keeps the myosin from interacting with actin, "freezing" the cell in place
