Solution

The correct option is D white in colour
Fibroblasts are cells present in connective tissue that produce fibres. Fibres are of two types:
  • Collagen fibres are white in colour and are made up of collagen protein. The fibres are unbranched and usually occur in bundles.
  • Elastic fibres are yellow in colour and are made up of elastin protein. The fibres occur singly and are branched.
