epineurium
myelin
perineurium
endoneurium
saved

Explanation:

In the structure of peripheral nerves, the epineurium surrounds the entire nerve, the perineurium surrounds each fascicle (a bundle of nerve fibers), the endoneurium surrounds individual nerve fibers, and myelin is a sheath around axons (not a layer around fascicles). So the fascicles of peripheral nerves are surrounded by the perineurium.

Answer:

Perineurium
