The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Dense irregular connective tissue contains collagen fibers arranged in multiple directions. It provides strength and flexibility to tissues that are subjected to stretching in various directions.
It is typically found in:
- The deeper layer of the dermis (reticular layer) of the skin
- Submucosa of the digestive tract
- Periosteum and perichondrium
Other options:
- Umbilical cord contains Wharton's jelly (mucous connective tissue).
- Vocal cords have dense regular elastic tissue.
- Epiglottis contains elastic cartilage, not connective tissue.
