Solution

The correct option is A Striated muscles
  • Striated muscles are attached to some component of the skeleton, unlike smooth muscle which comprises hollow organs such as the intestines or blood vessels.
  • The fibers of striated muscle have a cylindrical shape having blunt ends, whereas those in smooth muscle can be described as being spindle-like with tapered ends.
  • Two other characteristics that differentiate striated muscle from smooth muscle are the fact that the former has higher amounts of mitochondria and contains cells that are multinucleated.
  • Cardiac muscle cells are mononucleated. Areolar tissue is loose connective tissue that consists of a meshwork of collagen, elastic tissue, and reticular fibers, with many connective tissue cells in between the meshwork of fibers.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
