The correct answer is (c) Areolar.
Explanation: Areolar tissue is a loose connective tissue that is widely distributed throughout the body, filling spaces between organs and supporting them. It is also involved in tissue repair due to its ability to produce collagen fibers and other matrix components.
Why other options are incorrect:
(a) Tendon:
Tendons are dense connective tissues that connect muscles to bones. They are designed for strength and transmission of force, not tissue repair or filling spaces.
(b) Adipose tissue:
Adipose tissue is a type of loose connective tissue that stores fat. While it plays a role in energy storage and insulation, it is not primarily involved in tissue repair.
(d) Cartilage:
Cartilage is a specialized connective tissue that provides support and flexibility in joints and other structures. It is not involved in tissue repair to the same extent as areolar tissue.
