A
mature elastic fibres
B
reticular fibres
C
collagen fibres
D
oxytalan elastic fribres
E
elaunin fibres fibres
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most abundant form of collagen in tendon and throughout the body is type I [13, 14]. Type I collagen fibrils are stiff structures that provide the tendon with its mechanical durability and strength.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dense connective tissue is what makes up tendons and ligaments and consist of a higher density of collagen fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tendons are made out of connective tissue that has a lot of strong collagen fibers in it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Collagen fibrils, the basic ‘building block’ of tendon, appear as banded filament on transmission electron microscopy of longitudinal sections of tendon. Transverse sections show the collagen fibrils as electron-dense circular structures of varying sizes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Collagen is principal protein of the skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone, and connective tissue.
