The epimysium covers
A
the entire muscle
B
the fascicle
C
the muscle fiber
D
the myofibril
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the epimysium. Fascia, connective tissue outside the epimysium, surrounds and separates the muscles. Portions of the epimysium project inward to divide the muscle into compartments. Each compartment contains a bundle of muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-2: -1. The epimysium is the dense connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle tissue. The epimysium usually contains many bundles (fascicles) of muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The outermost connective tissue sheath surrounding the entire muscle is known as epimysium. The connective tissue sheath covering each fasciculus is known as perimysium, and the innermost sheath surrounding individual muscle fiber is known as endomysium.

Detailed explanation-4: -The endomysium, a fine layer of connective tissue, wraps each muscle fiber and separates it from neighboring fibers. Another layer of connective tissue, the perimysium, surrounds a bundle of up to 150 fibers called a fasciculus. A fascia of fibrous connective tissue, the epimysium, surrounds the entire muscle.

Detailed explanation-5: -The endomysium is a delicate network of connective tissue, which surrounds individual muscle fibres and contains the vessels and nerves that supply the muscle fibres as well as the proteoglycan matrix for ion flux and metabolic exchange.
