The answer is the second one (Blood): Blood.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Reticular tissue: This type of connective tissue forms a supportive framework for organs such as the lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow. It does not primarily function to transport nutrients.

  2. Blood: Blood is a fluid connective tissue that circulates through the cardiovascular system. It is responsible for transporting nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and waste products to and from the body's tissues.

  3. Adipose tissue: This tissue stores fat and provides insulation and cushioning for the body. While it plays a role in energy storage and metabolism, it does not transport nutrients.

  4. Nervous tissue: This tissue is involved in transmitting electrical signals throughout the body. It is not a type of connective tissue and does not transport nutrients.

  5. Dense regular connective tissue: This type of connective tissue is composed of tightly packed collagen fibers and is found in tendons and ligaments. It provides strength and support but does not transport nutrients.

Summary: Blood is the connective tissue that functions to transport nutrients to the body's tissues.
