Solution

The correct option is C fasciculus
A single bundle of muscle fibres is known as fasciculus (plural: fasciculi) and is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the perimysium. Within the fasciculus, each individual muscle cell, called a muscle fiber, is surrounded by connective tissue called the endomysium.
The collagenous connective tissue that holds the muscle together is known as fascia.
