Solution

The correct option is D Ligaments
A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments which are the tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect two bones together in the joints. A sprain results in an overstretch or tear of the ligaments supporting that joint.
So, the correct answer is 'ligaments'.
