This connective tissue surrounds the entire muscle
A
epimysium
B
perimysium
C
facicles
D
endomysium
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Epimysium: Connective Tissue that surrounds the entire muscle. Perimysium: Connective tissue that surrounds a bundle of muscle fibers (Fascicle). Extends inward from the epimysium.

Detailed explanation-5: -The endomysium, meaning within the muscle, is a wispy layer of areolar connective tissue that ensheaths each individual muscle fiber, or muscle cell. It also contains capillaries and nerves.
