Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Adipose tissue consists of oval and round cells filled with fat globules, scattered in the matrix. This tissue is found below the skin, between internal organs and in the yellow bone marrow. It stores fat and acts as an insulator. Cuboidal epithelium help in absorption, excretion and secretion, whereas bones and cartilage are specialised connective tissue and they provide support to the internal organs
