Solution
The correct option is C Areolar tissue
Cartilage is made up of specialized cells called chondrocytes. These chondrocytes produce large amounts of extracellular matrix composed of collagen fibers, proteoglycan, and elastin fibers.
Adipose tissue is loose connective tissue composed of fat cells known as adipocytes. Adipocytes contain lipid droplets of stored triglycerides.
The different kinds of cells present in areolar connective tissue are macrophages, mast cells, adipocytes, fibroblasts and plasma cells.
Glandular epithelium covers the endocrine and exocrine glands of the body. The main function is secretion.
