Option A is incorrect because stimulating nerves does not weaken or deteriorate the muscles, but rather strengthen them. Option C is incorrect because stimulation does not cause muscles to stiffen, but rather become more flexible and mobile. Option D is incorrect because stimulating nerves does not cause muscles to shrink, but rather grow and become stronger.
