Solution
The correct option is C Epimysium Skeletal muscle is surrounded by a fibrous elastic connective tissue sheath called the epimysium. It surrounds the muscle formed by groups of parallel fascicles. The epimysium protects muscles from friction against other muscles and bones. Epimysium along with the perimysium and endomysium layers generally extend beyond the fleshy part of the muscle, forming a thick rope-like tendon or a broad, flat sheet-like aponeurosis.
