Connective tissues are made of different combinations of ground substance and fibers. As you compare slides of connective tissues, which would most likely be the strongest (toughest) type of connective tissue based on the composition of ground substance and fibers?a. connective tissue high in ground substanceb. connective tissues high in collagen fibersc. connective tissue high in elastic fibersd. connective tissue high in reticular fibers

The connective tissue refers to a tissue that originates from the mesoderm. This kind of tissue is found in the middle of the other tissues present. Connective tissue comes in different forms, which varies on the basis of the ground tissue and the concentration of fibers present in them. The strongest and the toughest connective tissue is the one that comprises a greater concentration of collagen fibers present in them.

Collagen refers to a protein fiber, which can be witnessed in different parts of the body. It offers cushion and endurance to various body parts like skin. Mainly, the collagen fibers are witnessed in different forms of connective tissues like tendons, cartilage, ligaments, and bones.
