The correct option is D Only (ii)

Blood is a type of connective tissue. Blood flows and carries various substances from one part of the body to the other. For
example, it carries oxygen and food to all cells. It also collects wastes from all parts of the body and carries them to the liver and kidney for disposal. Blood has a fluid (liquid) matrix called
plasma, in which red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets are suspended.
