Answer:

The proteins released by organs that repeatedly stretch and retract has favorable electrical property help in building and supporting healthy connective tissues. Tendons and ligaments are generally composed of connective tissues. Endomysium is a form of connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber or muscle cells . A group of muscle cells is encircled by a perimysium connective tissue thereby forming a fascicle. All the fascicle are enclosed by epimysium connective tissue to form a compete muscle. The three linings formed by endomysium, perimysium and epimysium in their extended stage form a cord like extension known as tendon.

Thus, the correct answer is option C
