Explanation:

First Question (Muscle Tissue Matching)

Intercalated discs are unique to cardiac muscle tissue, connecting cardiac muscle cells and allowing for synchronized contraction. Skeletal muscle has striations and is voluntary, smooth muscle is involuntary and non - striated, and the connective tissues (dense regular and irregular) do not have intercalated discs.

Squamous cells, such as those in simple squamous or stratified squamous epithelium, are indeed flattened and scalelike in their mature form. This is a defining characteristic of squamous epithelial cells.

By definition, a tissue is a group of organized cells (along with their intercellular substances) that work together for a common purpose. An organism is a whole living entity, an organ is made of multiple tissues, and an organ system is a group of organs.

Answer:

B. Cardiac muscle
