C. A tendon covers a bone; a ligament supplies nutrients to a bone.

D. A tendon joins a bone to a bone; a ligament joins muscle to a bone.

Answer 1

A tendon is a tough band that connects a muscle to a bone, while a ligament is a fibrous band that connects one bone to another.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tendon is a tough band of connective tissue that connects a muscle to a bone. It joins a muscle to a bone and allows muscles to pull on bones, enabling movement.

A ligament, on the other hand, is a band of fibrous connective tissue that connects one bone to another. Ligaments provide stability to joints by anchoring the bones together.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. A tendon joins a muscle to a bone; a ligament joins a bone to a bone.

Answer 2

Tendons are similar to ligaments and fasciae as they are all made of collagen, but a ligament joins one bone to another and fasciae connect muscles to other muscles.

Leaving, A as the correct answer among all the other answers above stated.
