The correct option is:

(d) Skeletal muscle contracts and pulls the tendons to move the bones.

Skeletal muscles are responsible for movement in the body, and they attach to bones via tendons. When skeletal muscles contract, they pull on the tendons, which in turn move the bones, allowing for various movements such as walking, running, and working. Smooth muscles, on the other hand, are responsible for involuntary movements within organs and do not directly move bones. Ligaments, meanwhile, are fibrous tissues that connect bones to other bones and are not involved in the process of muscle contraction and movement.
