C.Like muscle, tendons also have the ability to shorten or contract.
D.Tendons function to move various parts of the skeleton in response to skeletal muscle contraction.

Answer 1

C. Like muscle, tendons also have the ability to shorten or contract.

Step-by-step explanation:

These bundles are pretty resistant, but they CANNOT shorten unless it is due to a injury such as contracture of the tendon or tendon sheath.
