Explanation:

Fibroblasts are the most common fixed cells in connective tissue. They produce and maintain the extracellular matrix components of connective - tissue, such as collagen and elastin fibers. Macrophages are immune - related cells that can move and are not the most common fixed cells. Osteoclasts are involved in bone resorption and are not typical fixed cells of general connective tissue. Mast cells are also present in connective tissue but are not as prevalent as fibroblasts.
