The answer is the second one: exocrine gland.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Widely spaced cells: This is associated with connective tissue. Connective tissues typically have cells that are spread out within an extracellular matrix, rather than being tightly packed together.

  2. Exocrine gland: This is not typically associated with connective tissue. Exocrine glands are part of the epithelial tissue system, which is responsible for secretion and lining surfaces.

  3. Collagenous fibers: This is associated with connective tissue. Collagen fibers are a major component of the extracellular matrix in connective tissues, providing strength and support.

  4. Matrix: This is associated with connective tissue. The matrix is the non-cellular component present within all tissues and organs, providing structural and biochemical support to the surrounding cells.

In summary, the term "exocrine gland" is not associated with connective tissue, making it the correct answer to the question.
