D)Ib fibers.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Golgi tendon organs are innervated by Ib fibers, which are sensory fibers that transmit information about tension in the muscle to the spinal cord. This information is used to regulate muscle contraction and prevent excessive force that could lead to injury. Alpha motor neurons and gamma motor neurons are involved in muscle contraction and do not directly innervate Golgi tendon organs.
