Solution

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct
Both tendons and ligaments are connective tissues. Tendons are made up of white fibrous tissue. It connects muscle to bone. Tendons possess great strength but have limited flexibility. On the other hand, ligaments are made up of yellow elastic tissue. It connects one bone to another. Ligaments are very elastic with considerable strength.
