Answer 1

The correct option is B Liquid connective tissue

All living cells have to be provided with nutrients, O${}_2$ and other essential substances. Also, the waste or harmful substances produced, have to be removed continuously for the healthy functioning of tissues. It is, therefore, essential to have efficient mechanisms for the movement of these substances to the cells and from the cells. Blood is the most commonly used body fluid by most of the higher organisms including humans for this purpose. Another body fluid, lymph, also helps in the transport of certain substances. Blood is a special connective tissue consisting of a fluid matrix, plasma. Hence, it is called as liquid connective tissue.
