B
It surrounds the sarcomere.
C
It surrounds each fascicle.
D
It surrounds the myofiber.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A perimysium surrounds an individual fascicle. An individual muscle fiber in a fascicle is invested in an endomysium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscles contain connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves. There are three layers of connective tissue: epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium. Skeletal muscle fibers are organized into groups called fascicles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each bundle of muscle fiber is called a fasciculus and is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the perimysium. Within the fasciculus, each individual muscle cell, called a muscle fiber, is surrounded by connective tissue called the endomysium.
