Solution

The correct option is B

Plasma


The plasma is yellowish in colour. Plasma is the liquid matrix of this fluid connective tissue which holds the cellular components in it. It makes up about 55% of the body's total blood volume. Most of it is water (about 90%), and the remaining (10%) consists of dissolved nutrients, proteins, waste products and hormones. It also serves as protein reserve of the human body.
