D
bones
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Entheses (insertion sites, osteotendinous junctions, osteoligamentous junctions) are sites of stress concentration at the region where tendons and ligaments attach to bone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Tendons that attach skeletal muscle to bones and ligaments, which attach one bone to another are examples of dense regular connective tissues.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a nutshell, tendons and ligaments are both dense, soft tissues that connect different parts of the anatomy. For the most part, tendons attach bone to muscle, while ligaments attach bone to bone. Unlike muscles, these fibrous connective tissues do not have blood vessels passing through them.

Detailed explanation-5: -(3) A syndesmosis is a joint in which a ligament connects two bones, allowing for a little movement (amphiarthroses). The distal joint between the tibia and fibula is an example of a syndesmosis.
