D
Aponeurosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Deep fascia is a layer of dense fibrous connective tissue which surrounds individual muscles, and also divides groups of muscles into fascial compartments. This fascia has a high density of elastin fibre that determines its extensibility or resilience.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deep fascia (synonymous with fascia profunda) is typically a continuous sheet of mostly dense irregular connective tissue keeping an underlying structure (particularly muscle) in position.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deep fascia (or investing fascia) is a fascia, a layer of dense connective tissue that can surround individual muscles and groups of muscles to separate into fascial compartments. This fibrous connective tissue interpenetrates and surrounds the muscles, bones, nerves, and blood vessels of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deep fascia surrounds bones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. It is commonly has a more fibrous consistency and rich in hyaluronan as compared to the other subtypes. Deep fascia tends to be highly vascularized and contain well developed lymphatic channels.
