Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The perimysium is the connective tissue layer that surrounds each bundle of muscle fibers called a fascicle. The endomysium surrounds each individual muscle fiber, while the epimysium surrounds the entire muscle. Fascia is a sheet of connective tissue that surrounds groups of muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. Therefore, the best choice is C, perimysium.
