The length-tension diagram shown was obtained from a skeletal muscle with equal numbers of red and white fibers. Supramaximal tetanic stimuli were used to initiate an isometric contraction at each muscle length studied. The resting length was 20 $\mathrm { cm }$. What is the maximum amount of active tension this muscle is capable of generating at a preload of 100 grams?

A. 145 to 155 grams
B. 25 to 35 grams
C. 55 to 65 grams
D. 95 to 105 grams
E. Cannot be determined
