Solution

The correct option is D
Ligament

Long bones receive blood from a number of sources including the nutrient artery, the periosteal arteries, epiphyseal arteries and metaphyseal arteries. Tendons also have blood supplied (although in small amounts) via the musculotendinous (between muscle and tendon) and osteotendinous (between bone and tendon) junctions, so tendons and bones also heal quicker than ligaments.
