OUTER COVERING OF BONE THAT COVERS DIAPHYSIS AND IS LOCATION WHERE MUSCLES ATTACH
A
ARTICULAR CARTILAGE
B
OSTEON
C
HAVERSIAN CANAL
D
PERIOSTEUM
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The periosteum is identifiable on the outer surface of the bone; both layers of the periosteum can be differentiated.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The periosteum is the membrane covering the outside of the diaphysis (and epiphyses where articular cartilage is absent). It contains osteoblasts (bone‐forming cells), osteoclasts (bone‐destroying cells), nerve fibers, and blood and lymphatic vessels. Ligaments and tendons attach to the periosteum.

Detailed explanation-4: -The periosteum is a membrane that covers the outer surface of all bones, except at the articular surfaces (i.e. the parts within a joint space) of long bones. Endosteum lines the inner surface of the medullary cavity of all long bones. The periosteum covers the outside of bones.

Detailed explanation-5: -A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone.
