Solution

The correct answer is: It consists of cells scattered within a matrix with a relatively large amount of ground substance.

Loose connective tissue is a category of connective tissue which includes areolar tissue, reticular tissue, and adipose tissue. Loose connective tissue is the most common type of connective tissue in vertebrates. It holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. It also allows for ease of movement, which is important for our organs to function properly. The matrix in loose connective tissue is much softer and more flexible than in other types of connective tissue, and the fibers are not as densely packed, allowing for a relatively large amount of ground substance.
