Solution

The correct option is B epithelial tissue
Cell junctions are structures present in a cell that acts as an adhesion between the neighboring cells. It is found in the epithelial cells. There are various types of cell junctions- tight junction, gap junction, adherens junction.
Tight junctions prevents any leaks between the epithelial cells. The movement of substances from cell to another is facilitated through the gap junctions. The adherens junction holds the cell together.
Neural tissue is made up of nerve cells and are responsible for the transmission of impulses. Muscular tissue has the ability to contract and thus are involved in movement of the organism.Connective tissue connects and supports the organ. For example ligament is connective tissue that joins bone to bone.
