Solution

The correct option is B

adipose tissue


Adipose tissue is present beneath the skin and it stores fat. It acts as an insulating layer and shock absorber, protecting the internal organs. Areolar tissue on the other hand, holds the organs in place. Fibrous connective tissue provides support to many organs while, fluid connective tissues (e.g., blood and lymph) play a major role in transportation of gases and nutrients essential for the cells.
