Solution

Before tropomyosin can move away from the myosin binding sites, calcium must bind to troponin. This is because the binding of calcium to troponin causes a conformational change in the troponin-tropomyosin complex, which then moves tropomyosin away from the myosin binding sites on actin, allowing the myosin heads to bind to actin and begin the process of muscle contraction. So, the correct answer is "Calcium must bind to troponin".
