Solution

The correct option is A Epithelial tissue
In some tissues like that of epithelia, the plasma membrane of adjacent cells is pressed together. Four kinds of such junctions are present in vertebrates as tight junctions, adherens junctions, gap junctions and desmosomes.
Desmosomes are localized patches, that hold two cells tightly together (e.g., skin epithelia). Desmosomes are attached to the intermediate filaments of the keratin in the cytoplasm.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
