check answer

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the connective tissue layers around nerve axons:

• Epineurium surrounds the entire nerve.
• Endomysium surrounds muscle fibers (not nerve axons).
• Endoneurium directly surrounds individual axons in a nerve.
• Perineurium surrounds groups of axons (fascicles).

Answer:

C. endoneurium
