	LIST I		LIST II
A	Supportive connective tissue	1	Lymph
B	Fibrous connective tissue	2	Bones
C	Fluid connective tissue	3	Tendons

• A. A -3, B-2, C-1
• B. A -3, B-1, C-2
• C. A -2, B-3, C-1
• D. A -1, B-3, C-2

Answer 1

The correct option is C A -2, B-3, C-1

1. Bones and cartilage constitute the supportive connective tissue, which helps to maintain the posture of the body and protect the internal organs.
2. Fibrous connective tissue comprises of mostly fibres in their matrix, and hence also known as dense connective tissue. It includes tendons and ligaments. Tendon connects bone to muscle while ligament connects two bones.
3. Blood and Lymph are the fluid connective tissues. Lymph flows through the lymphatic vessels and helps to provide immunity. Its composition is similar to blood except that it lacks red blood cells, platelets, plasma protein required for clotting.

Thus, the correct answer is C.
