The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Structures**: The question asks about the blubber of a whale and the hump of a camel. Both of these structures are adaptations to their respective environments. 2. **Understand the Function of Blubber**: Blubber in whales serves as a heat insulator. It helps whales maintain their body temperature in cold aquatic environments by conserving body heat. 3. **Identify the Tissue Type for Blubber**: Since blubber is primarily composed of fat, it is classified as adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that stores energy in the form of fat. 4. **Understand the Function of the Camel's Hump**: The hump of a camel is also composed of fat. This fat serves as a reserve food source. When the fat is oxidized, it provides energy and releases water, which is crucial for the camel's survival in arid environments. 5. **Identify the Tissue Type for the Hump**: Similar to blubber, the hump of a camel is also made up of adipose tissue. This tissue plays a vital role in energy storage and hydration for camels. 6. **Conclusion**: Both the blubber of the whale and the hump of the camel are classified as adipose tissue, which is a type of connective tissue. **Final Answer**: The blubber of the whale and the hump of the camel are both types of adipose tissue. ---
