• B. Adipose tissue – Store fats and act as heat insulators
• C. Dense regular tissue – Provide flexibility
• D. Dense irregular tissue – Provide strength and elasticity.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Adipose tissue – Store fats and act as heat insulators

Below is the labelled diagram of the given figure:


Adipose tissue is a loose connective tissue located mainly beneath the skin. The cells of this tissue are specialized to store fats. The excess of nutrients which are not used immediately are converted into fats and are stored in this tissue.
