Solution
The correct option is A Blood
Areolar tissue contains interlacing, loosely organized fibers with lots of blood vessels embedded in a matrix. Hence, the areolar tissue has a jelly-like matrix.
Cartilage has widely spaced cells, which are interspersed in the matrix made of proteins and sugars. Therefore, cartilage possesses a rigid matrix.
Ligament is a fibrous connective tissue with a very little rigid form of the matrix.
Blood consists of a fluid or liquid matrix called plasma in which white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets are suspended.
