answer
○ it provides support
○ it arises from mesenchymal tissue and has a nonliving fluid matrix
○ it contains fibroblasts
○ it connects parts of the body together
○ i dont know yet

Explanation:

To determine why blood is a connective tissue, we analyze each option:

• "It provides support": Connective tissues like bone provide support, but blood's main role isn't support. Eliminate.
• "It arises from mesenchymal tissue and has a nonliving fluid matrix": Connective tissues develop from mesenchyme, and blood has plasma (nonliving matrix) with cells. This matches.
• "It contains fibroblasts": Fibroblasts are in connective tissues like loose connective tissue, not blood. Eliminate.
• "It connects parts of the body together": Connecting structures is for tissues like ligaments, not blood's function. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. it arises from mesenchymal tissue and has a nonliving fluid matrix
