Solution

The correct option is D 1 - fats; 2 - adipose tissue
The excess nutrients such as carbohydrates, which are not used immediately are converted into fats and are stored in the adipose tissue. Carbohydrates play a role in the oxidation of fats and can also be converted into proteins. Fats function in the synthesis of steroids and hormones. It also serves as solvents for hormones and fat-soluble vitamins.

Fibrous tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue are not storage tissues.
