Explanation:

Muscles are tough, strong tissues. They contract to provide the energy needed for physical activities. Tendons connect muscles to bones, not the other - way - around as in option A. Cartilage is different from muscle tissue as described in option C. Muscles are not controlled by the skeletal system directly but by the nervous system, so option D is incorrect.
