Solution

The correct option is C Tendon
Sesamoid bones are numerous small round bony masses embedded in certain tendons and typically associated with joint surfaces. The largest sesamoid bone is the patella, which is embedded in the tendon of the quadriceps femoris at the knee. So, the correct answer is 'Tendon'.
