B
protein in tissue fluid but not plasma
C
glucose in tissue fluid but not plasma
D
glucose in plasma but not tissue fluid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There is a high protein present in the blood plasma. There is a low protein present in the tissue fluid. The role of blood plasma is to carry oxygen to the needy tissues. The role of tissue fluid is to transport nutrients from the blood to the cells also, the exchange of gas takes place.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tissue fluid is important for the exchange of substances between the blood and the cells Tissue fluid is formed from blood plasma leaking from the capillaries, but does not contain plasma proteins as these are too big to fit through the capillary wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between plasma and interstitial fluid is that plasma contains more proteins whereas interstitial fluid contains fewer proteins. Most of the other dissolved products such as nutrients and electrolytes occur in similar concentrations in both plasma and interstitial fluid.

Detailed explanation-4: -The composition of tissue fluid is almost identical to the composition of blood plasma. It is a water solution that contains AMK, sugars, fatty acids, hormones, salts, cell metabolites and other substances. The biggest difference between it and plasma is the minimal protein content.
