Solution

The correct option is D Epidermis and connective tissue
The basement membrane has two layers- lamina lucida and lamina densa. Out of these two, lamina lucida is derived from the epithelial tissues, while lamina densa is derived from connective tissues. Hence, basement membrane is derived from both epithelial tissues and connective tissues.
So, the correct answer is 'Epidermis and connective tissues'.
