A
Endomysium
B
Epimysium
C
Fascicle
D
Perimysium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The epimysium is a thick connective tissue layer that is composed of coarse collagen fibers in a proteoglycan matrix. The epimysium surrounds the entire muscle and defines its volume. The arrangement of collagen fibers in the epimysium varies between muscles of different shapes and functions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the epimysium.

Detailed explanation-3: -The periosteum, endosteum and perichondrium are all layers of tissue in and around your bones. The periosteum is the sheath outside your bones that supplies them with blood, nerves and the cells that help them grow and heal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Epimysium (plural epimysia) (Greek epi-for on, upon, or above + Greek mys for muscle) is the fibrous tissue envelope that surrounds skeletal muscle. It is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue which ensheaths the entire muscle and protects muscles from friction against other muscles and bones.

Detailed explanation-5: -The epimysium is the dense connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle tissue. The epimysium usually contains many bundles (fascicles) of muscle fibers.
