Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) because Sharpey's or perforating fibers are a continuation of collagen fibers from the dense regular connective tissue of the periosteum and penetrate and are anchored into the matrix forming the outer circumferential lamellae. Additionally, they are also a continuation of the collagen of dense regular connective tissue of tendons and/or ligaments.
