The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze each statement one by one to determine which ones are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "In simple cuboidal epithelium nuclei are rounded and lie in the centre of the cells." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. In simple cuboidal epithelium, the cells are cube-shaped, and the nuclei are typically rounded and centrally located within the cells. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "Non-keratinized epithelium is impervious to water." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Non-keratinized epithelium is not impervious to water; it allows for some permeability. In contrast, keratinized epithelium (like that found in the skin) is what is impervious to water. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Yellow elastic fibrocartilage makes cartilage flexible." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Yellow elastic fibrocartilage contains elastic fibers that provide flexibility, making it suitable for structures that require both strength and elasticity. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "Areolar tissue forms a shock absorbing cushion around the eyeballs and kidneys." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Areolar tissue is a loose connective tissue that provides support and flexibility but does not specifically form a shock-absorbing cushion around the eyeballs and kidneys. Instead, it is adipose tissue that serves this function. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - Correct statements: (i) and (iii) - Incorrect statements: (ii) and (iv) Thus, the correct option is **first and third**.
