This type of connective tissue contains large amount of fibers.
A
Areolar connective tissue
B
Fibrous connective tissue
C
Cartilage
D
Bone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dense connective tissue proper is composed of a higher density of fibers, which may be regular (with parallel fibers such as that of tendons and ligaments) or irregular (with multidirectional fibers such as that of the pericardium), or elastic (with significant embedded elastin such as that of arteries).

Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrous connective tissue supports, protects, and holds bones, muscles, and other tissues and organs in place. Ligaments, tendons, the inner layer of the skin, and the sclera (the white outer layer of the eye) are all types of fibrous connective tissue. Also called dense connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Areolar tissue is the most common type of connective tissue. It contains all three types of fibers (collagen, elastic, and reticular), which are distributed randomly and crisscross in all directions, as shown in Figure 1.

Detailed explanation-4: -Collagen: Collagen fibers are the strongest and most abundant of all the connective tissue fibers. Collagen fibers are fibrous proteins and are secreted into the extracellular space and they provide high tensile strength to the matrix.
