Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is C, as most of the muscles in the body, especially the ones used for movement, are connected to each other or to bones by ligaments and tendons. When a muscle gets pulled, so does the ligament, causing another muscle to be pulled, aiding movement. With tendons, when a muscle is pulled or contracted, so is the tendon, causing the movement of bones.
