The answer is the first one: cartilage.

Explanation for each option:

  • Cartilage: This type of connective tissue is considered avascular, meaning it does not contain blood vessels. Nutrients and waste products diffuse through the matrix to reach the cells.
  • Bone: Bone is a vascular tissue, containing blood vessels that supply nutrients and remove waste products.
  • Loose: Loose connective tissue is vascular, containing blood vessels that provide nutrients and remove waste.
  • Areolar connective: Areolar connective tissue is also vascular, with a rich supply of blood vessels.

Summary: Cartilage is the type of connective tissue that is considered avascular.
