C
Tendon connects muscles to bones; aponeurosis can connect muscle to bones, muscles, connective tissues, and cartilage.

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is the Difference Between Tendon and Aponeurosis? Tendon is a tough rope-like connective tissue that attaches a muscle to the bone while aponeurosis is a delicate sheath-like connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone. So, this is the key difference between tendon and aponeurosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tendons allow your body to move and give you flexibility. Aponeuroses give your body strength and stability. In addition, aponeuroses can act like another type of connective tissue called fascia. Fascia is fibrous tissue that wraps around and supports your muscles, organs and bones.

Detailed explanation-3: -how is an aponeurosis functionally similar to a tendon? Aponeuroses are thick membranes that separate muscles from one another. They are tough and resilient. Tendons are similar, in both function and composition, only they serve to connect muscles to bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tough, fibrous, cord-like tissue that connects muscle to bone or another structure, such as an eyeball. Tendons help the bone or structure to move.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tendons are strong and non-flexible while ligaments are flexible and elastic. Both play a vital role in joints and bones and are composed of living cells. They contain plenty of collagen.
