- A.Tissue: Smooth muscle, Location: Wall of intestine✓
- B.Tissue: Areolar tissue, Location: Tendons
- C.Tissue: Transitional epithelium, Location: Tip of nose
- D.Tissue: Cuboidal epithelium, Location: Lining of stomach
Correct Answer
(A) Tissue: Smooth muscle, Location: Wall of intestine
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (1) Smooth muscle — Wall of intestine. Solution: The wall of the intestine (and other visceral organs) is lined by smooth (non-striated, involuntary) muscle, so (1) is the correct match. Tendons are made of dense regular connective tissue, not areolar (loose connective) tissue; the tip of the nose is supported by elastic cartilage, not transitional epithelium; and the inner lining of the stomach is columnar epithelium, not cuboidal epithelium — hence (2), (3) and (4) are wrong. NCERT (Class XI, Structural Organisation in Animals — Animal Tissues, pre-2023 rationalisation text): muscular tissue (smooth muscle) and connective/epithelial tissue locations.
