Correct Answer

Solution

Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue proper and does not fall under the category of dense connective tissue, that includes white fibrous tissue and yellow elastic tissue.
Compound epithelium is a multilayered epithelium with cell in different sizes from division to maturity, i.e between the basement membrane and the exposed layer.It's major role is protection and secretion, but not absorption.
Therefore, statement i and ii have mistakaes.
So, the correct answer is '(i) and (ii)'
