The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where fat is stored in the body. This requires knowledge of different types of tissues and their functions. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Liver Cells**: Liver cells, or hepatocytes, are primarily involved in metabolism, detoxification, and bile production. They do not primarily store fat. - **Option 2: Alveolar Tissue**: Alveolar tissue is found in the lungs and is involved in gas exchange. It consists of alveoli lined with simple squamous epithelium, not fat storage. - **Option 3: Adipose Tissue**: Adipose tissue is specialized connective tissue that stores energy in the form of lipids (fats). This is the primary storage site for fat in the body. - **Option 4: Lymph Gland**: Lymph glands (or lymph nodes) contain lymphoid tissue, which is involved in immune responses and does not store fat. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: After analyzing all the options, the correct answer is **Adipose Tissue**, as it is specifically designed for fat storage. 4. **Conclusion**: The fat is stored in adipose tissue, which consists of adipocytes (fat cells) that store energy in the form of lipids. ### Final Answer: The fat is stored in **Adipose Tissue**. ---
