Solution

The correct option is D nervous tissue
Nodes of Ranvier are periodic gap in the insulating sheath (myelin) on the axon of certain neurons that serves to facilitate the rapid conduction of nerve impulses. These interruptions in the myelin covering were first discovered in 1878 by French histologist and pathologist Louis-Antoine Ranvier, who described the nodes as constrictions.
