The correct answer is E) All of the above are correct.
Somites are blocks of mesodermal tissue that develop along the sides of the neural tube in embryonic development. They play a crucial role in the formation of various structures in the body.
Option A is correct because somites do differentiate into myotomes, which give rise to skeletal muscles of the trunk.
Option B is correct because somites also differentiate into sclerotomes, which give rise to the vertebrae and other axial skeletal structures.
Option C is correct because somites arise from segmentation of the paraxial mesoderm, which occurs during early embryonic development.
Option D is incorrect because myotomes derived from somites mainly contribute to skeletal muscle formation in the trunk, not limbs.
