• A. Epithelium – keratin
• B. Muscle fibre – Actin
• C. Areolar connective tissue – Collagen
• D. Adipose – Melanin

Answer 1

The correct option is D Adipose – Melanin

Adipose tissue is made up of adipocytes, which are modified fibroblasts. It is found in the subcutaneous layer and contains fat globules with no intercellular spaces. Adipose tissue, helps in fat storage, regulates body heat and serves as a shock absorber. Melanin, on the other hand, is a pigment produced by melanocytes. It is found in the malpighian layer and helps protect skin from the harmful UV rays.
