Solution
The correct option is B Connective tissue The connective tissues are the tissues that allow the attachment of the different organs in the body. The cells of connective tissue are embedded in an intercellular matrix. The nature of the matrix differs in accordance with the function of the connective tissue. For example, bones provide structural support, therefore, the matrix of bone is hard. On the other hand, blood needs to be in fluid form so that it can be transported from one part of the body to the other. Therefore, blood has a fluid matrix.
