Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Nervous tissue is responsible for receiving stimuli (information) from the environment and transmitting impulses (signals) throughout the body. Epithelial tissue forms protective barriers and linings, connective tissue supports and connects other tissues, muscle tissue contracts and moves the body, and blood is a specialized connective tissue that transports nutrients and oxygen.
