The answer is the third one (or C): Epithelial tissue.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Nerve tissue: This type of tissue is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses and is found in the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It is not involved in forming the epidermis.
  2. Muscle tissue: This type of tissue is responsible for movement and is found in muscles throughout the body, including skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles. It does not make up the epidermis.
  3. Epithelial tissue: This type of tissue forms the outer layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. It serves as a protective barrier and is involved in functions such as absorption, secretion, and sensation.
  4. Connective tissue: This type of tissue supports, binds, and connects other tissues and organs. It includes bone, blood, and adipose tissues, but it does not form the epidermis.

Summary: The epidermis is made up of epithelial tissue, which serves as a protective outer layer of the skin.
