The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Fibroblasts are the primary cells responsible for secreting collagen and elastin fibers in connective tissues.
Cartilage, Bone, Adipose tissue, and Areolar tissue: All contain fibroblasts or related cell types (chondrocytes in cartilage, osteoblasts in bone, adipocytes in adipose tissue) that produce collagen or elastin fibers.
Blood: Blood does not contain fibroblasts. Its matrix (plasma) contains various proteins, but these are not secreted by blood cells in the same way that fibroblasts secrete collagen and elastin.
