Option 3 correctly states that ATP enables the detachment of Myosin cross-bridges from Actin during muscle contraction. ATP provides the energy required for Myosin to detach from Actin, allowing for the relaxation phase of the muscle. This process is crucial for the repeated contraction and relaxation cycles that occur during muscle activity. Therefore, Option 3 is the correct answer.
