Answer:

Option D, To attach muscles to bones

Step-by-step explanation:

Tendons are basically a form of connective tissue that establishes a connection between the muscle or bone. They help in the movement of bones of our body. Tendon is made up of collagen, proteoglycan matrix and fibroblast arranged in parallel layers thereby forming a flexible and tightly packed fibrous tissue which helps in the bio mechanical movement of bones and joints.
