Solution

(c) Epithelial tissues have intercellular spaces between them

Epithelium covers most organs and cavities within the body. It also forms a barrier to keep different body systems separate. Epithelial tissue cells are tightly packed and form a continuous sheet. They have only a small amount of cementing material between them and almost no intercellular spaces.
