Which of the following is one of the four basic animal tissue types?

Answer: Epithelial tissue.

  • A Vascular tissue
  • B Epithelial tissue
  • C Meristematic tissue
  • D Ground tissue

Correct answer: B. Epithelial tissue

Explanation: Animal tissues are classified into four basic types: epithelial, connective, muscular, and neural. Vascular, meristematic, and ground tissue are plant tissue terms.

Concept context

The four basic animal tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscular, neural) and the cockroach as a model organism for organ-system level organisation.
