a. nerves, bones, cartilage, and connective tissue
b. tendons, cartilage, nerves, and blood vessels
c. muscle fibers, nerves, connective tissue, and blood vessels
d. tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and bones

please select the best answer from the choices provided

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Skeletal muscles do not contain bones or cartilage as integral parts of the muscle itself. Bones are connected to muscles via tendons, and cartilage is not a component of every skeletal muscle. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Cartilage is not a component of every skeletal muscle. Tendons attach muscles to bones, but cartilage is not present in all skeletal muscles. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Skeletal muscles are made of muscle fibers. They also have nerves for control, connective tissue for structure and support, and blood vessels to supply nutrients and oxygen. This option lists components that are present in every skeletal muscle.
• Option D: Bones are not part of the skeletal muscle; muscles attach to bones via tendons. Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. muscle fibers, nerves, connective tissue, and blood vessels
