Answer 2

(B) It is highly vascularised character is not associated with epithelium

Explanation:

• The location of epithelial cells on the surface is prone to environmental damage. If the cells are not packed closely enough, they may not divide rapidly enough to replace wounded surface cells that fall off.
• Epithelial tissues can be found throughout the body. They cover all body surfaces, hollow organs, and account for the vast majority of gland tissue.  
• The epithelial tissue is made up of closely packed cells that are organized in layers. The basement membrane is the deepest layer just above the connective tissue.
