Solution
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:
