The correct Answer is:
a

Loose or areolar connective tissue is the most generalised connective tissue, which is spread extensively throughout the body under the skin and epithelium, around and in between the muscles, nerves and blood vessels, between lobes and lobules of compound glands, in the sub-mucosa of respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.
It functions mainly for binding the parts together but also helps in sliding movement of epithelia, muscles and other parts and also forms the internal histological framework or stroma of many solid organs.
