Solution
The correct option is A Tendon
A tendon is a band of connective tissue that connects muscle to bone. The tendons and muscles work together to control joint movement. It is strong and can resist stress.
A ligament connects a bone to another bone, usually at the joints.
Collagen is the fibrous protein present in our body. It is the building material of certain tissues such as tendons.
Cartilage is soft, gel-like padding between bones that protects joints and facilitates movement.
