Solution

The correct option is C Areolar tissue
Areolar tissue is a type of loose connective tissue that acts as a supporting framework for epithelium. It is named so because it takes the form of fine threads crossing each other in every direction leaving small spaces called areolae. The areolar tissue consists of ground substance, matrix, white fibres, yellow fibres, reticulate fibres and cells like fibroblasts, mast cells, macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells, mesenchyme cells and chromatophores. It connects the skin with the underlying muscle tissue.
The matrix of cartilage is mainly made up of collagen, fibres and sometimes elastin.
Adipose tissues are specialized for storing fat and contain fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells and adipose tissue macrophages.
Compound epithelium are multilayered epithelial cells and they provide protection against chemical and mechanical stresses. They lack fibroblasts, mast cells and macrophages.
