muscle fiber
B
muscle tissue
C
myofibril
D
tendon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscle is a highly organized tissue composed of bundles of muscle fibers called myofibers which contain several myofibrils. Each myofiber represents a muscle cell with its basic cellular unit, the sarcomere. Bundles of myofibers form fascicles, and bundles of fascicles form the muscle tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -They are bound together by perimysium, a sheath of connective tissue, into bundles called fascicles, which are in turn bundled together to form muscle tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Approximately 20–80 of these muscle fibers are grouped together in a parallel arrangement called a muscle fascicle or fiber bundle that is encapsulated by a perimysium, which is thicker than the epimysium enclosing each of the bundled muscle fibers.
