What type of tissue is involved in supporting and protecting organs?

  1. Epithelial

  2. Connective

  3. Muscle

  4. Nervous

The correct answer is: Epithelial

Epithelial tissue is involved in supporting and protecting organs. Epithelial tissue acts as a protective barrier against mechanical injury, pathogens, and fluid loss. It lines the surfaces of organs and cavities throughout the body, providing a barrier to infection and injury. Connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue have different functions and do not primarily play a role in supporting and protecting organs like epithelial tissue does.
