Fascia
A
within the muscle, is a wispy layer of areolar connective tissue that ensheaths each individual muscle fiber.
B
structure of connective tissue that surrounds muscles, groups of muscles, blood vessels, and nerves, binding some structures together, while permitting others to slide smoothly over each other.
C
the connective-tissue sheath that surrounds a muscle and forms sheaths for the bundles of muscle fibers.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Also known as the epimysium, this is the connective tissue sheath surrounding skeletal muscle and can, in some cases, connect directly to the periosteum of bones.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is fascia? Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. When stressed, it tightens up.

Detailed explanation-3: -These collagen fibres are produced by the fibroblasts located within the fascia. Fasciae are similar to ligaments and tendons as they are all made of collagen except that ligaments join one bone to another bone, tendons join muscle to bone and fasciae surround muscles or other structures.
