The attachments of the tensor fasciae latae (TFL) are the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the iliotibial band (ITB) and the gluteal tuberosity to the iliotibial band (ITB). Option A is incorrect as the pes anserine is not an attachment point of the TFL. Option C is incorrect as the AIIS is not an attachment point of the TFL. Option D is incorrect as the pes anserine tendon is not an attachment point of the TFL.
