Provides nutrients to other tissues (like epithelial tissue) and support
A
adipose tissue
B
areolar tissue
C
dense regular tissue
D
elastic tissue
E
fibrocartilage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Areolar connective tissue is the type of tissue which connects and surrounds different organs in the human body. The important function of this type of tissue is that it provides nutrition to the cells and also acts as a cushion to protect the organs from various external forces.

Detailed explanation-2: -Connective tissues are usually highly vascular and so the nearby connective tissue provides essential nutrients (from the blood) to the epithelial tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Loose connective tissue, also known as areolar tissue, is a cellular connective tissue with thin and relatively sparse collagen fibers. Its ground substance occupies more volume than the fibers do.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tissue that supports, protects, and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body. Connective tissue also stores fat, helps move nutrients and other substances between tissues and organs, and helps repair damaged tissue.

Detailed explanation-5: -It fills the spaces between muscle fibers, surrounds blood and lymph vessels, and supports organs in the abdominal cavity. Areolar tissue underlies most epithelia and represents the connective tissue component of epithelial membranes, which are described further in a later section.
