Explanation
This question is about understanding the cells located in different tissues. White blood cells, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and adipocytes are indeed all cell types found in various types of connective tissues. White blood cells are present across all connective tissues due to their role in immune response. Chondrocytes are the primary cell of cartilage, a type of connective tissue. Osteoblasts are involved in bone formation, which is a highly specialized form of connective tissue. Adipocytes are primarily found in adipose tissue, another type of connective tissue primarily involved in fat storage. The other options list mixture of cells found in nervous tissue and epithelial tissue.
