1) Epithelial tissue - This is the correct answer.
Epithelial tissue is specialized to protect, absorb and secrete substances, and detect sensations. It covers every exposed body surface, forms a barrier to the outside world and controls absorption. Epithelium forms most of the surface of the skin, and the lining of the intestinal, respiratory, and urogenital tracts. Epithelium also lines internal cavities and passageways such as the chest, brain, eye, inner surfaces of blood vessels, and heart and inner ear.
