Answer: The endoneurium.

Explanation: Each bundle of nerve fibers is called a fasciculus and the fasciculus is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue named the perineurium. Within the fasciculus, each individual nerve fiber, with its myelin and neurilemma, is surrounded by an important connective tissue named the endoneurium.

I hope this is helpful!
