Solution

The correct option is B Epithelial tissue
Epithelial tissue covers the body surface, or lines the body cavity. The cells rest upon a non-cellular basement membrane composed of glycoproteins and mucopolysacharides. It is secreted by the epithelial cells. It is not nourished by blood, but by the underlying tissue fluids. So called non-vascularized.

Fluid connective tissue are those group of cells which make connections between different organs and are found throughout the body. Blood and lymph are examples of fluid connective tissue.

Muscular tissues constitutes the muscles in the body.
The nervous tissue forms the nerves, the spinal cord, the brain etc. Both muscular and nervous tissues are vascularised or have blood vessels supplying blood to them.
