Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Fibroblasts are the principal cells of areolar tissue.
Fibroblasts synthesize two kinds of proteins-collagen and elastin.
The tensile strength of collagen fibres and the elasticity fibres prevent displacement and injury of tissues and organs under mechanical stress.
Collagen fibres are also laid down at sites of injury and help in tissue repair.
