Answer 1

The correct option is D Helps in conduction of impulses

Bones are connective tissues with a hard and non-pliable ground substance rich in calcium salts and collagen fibres. This gives bone its strength thereby, making it an ideal tissue to provide a structural frame to the body. It also gives support and protects softer tissues and organs. Bones also, interact with skeletal muscles to bring about movements. The bone marrow in long bones is the site of production of blood cells.

Neurons which are specialised cells of the nervous system which helps in the conduction of impulses.
