Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Collagen fibers, while flexible, have great tensile strength, resist stretching, and give ligaments and tendons their characteristic resilience and strength. These fibers hold connective tissues together, even during the movement of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Highlights. ► The extracellular matrix is rich in collagen and elastic fibers. ► Collagen provides tissues with tensile strength to resist deformation.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Collagen fibers’.
