Question
diagram with label b (cells/tissue) and options: none of these, absorbs nutrients, traps dust and pathogens, secretes hormones, secretes mucus
The diagram likely shows epithelial tissue (like in respiratory or digestive tracts). Cells that secrete mucus (e.g., goblet cells in epithelial linings) produce mucus to trap dust/pathogens or lubricate. "Absorbs nutrients" is for intestinal absorptive cells, "secretes hormones" for endocrine glands, "traps dust..." is more about mucus's role but the cell here (if goblet - like) secretes mucus. So the correct option is the one about secreting mucus.
