Read the following statements carefully: (A) In dense regular tissue, collagen fibres are present in rows between many parallel bundles of fibres. (B) Ligaments attach skeletal muscles to bones and are dense regular tissues. (C) Skin consists of dense irregular connective tissue where fibroblasts and fibres are oriented differently. (D) Cartilage is a specialised connective tissue with a solid and pliable intercellul

Step-by-step solution

Statement (A) is correct as dense regular connective tissues have collagen fibres present in rows between many parallel bundles of fibres. Statement (B) is incorrect because ligaments attach one bone to another, whereas tendons attach skeletal muscles to bones. Both are dense regular connective tissues. Statement (C) is correct as skin contains dense irregular connective tissue with differently oriented fibres. Statement (D) is correct because cartilage is a specialised connective tissue whose intercellular materia
