Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B - Muscle contractions become progressively stronger. The Tensilon test involves administering edrophonium, which temporarily inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. In myasthenia gravis, where there is a deficiency of acetylcholine receptors, this results in a temporary improvement in muscle strength and contraction.
Therefore, if the muscle contractions become progressively stronger after the Tensilon test, it indicates a positive result, confirming the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the expected response of muscle strength improvement in a positive Tensilon test.
