Attaches bone to bone
A
tendon
B
ligament
C
cartilage
D
joint

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: -At fibrous entheses, the tendon or ligament attaches either directly to the bone or indirectly to it via the periosteum. In both cases, dense fibrous connective tissue connects the tendon/ligament to the periosteum and there is no evidence of (fibro)cartilage differentiation (Fig.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ligaments. Strong ligaments (tough, elastic bands of connective tissue) surround the joint to give support and limit the joint’s movement. Ligaments connect bones together.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Tendons that attach skeletal muscle to bones and ligaments, which attach one bone to another are examples of dense regular connective tissues.
