B)Some are tough and fibrous, protecting fragile organs such as the brain.
C)Some can be found around other connective tissues, such as bone and cartilage.
D)Some secrete mucus, which can lubricate the external surface of organs.

Accepted Answer

Connective tissue membranes do not secrete mucus; this is a function of mucous membranes. However, connective tissue membranes can secrete synovial fluid, which lubricates certain joints, and can protect organs by being tough and fibrous. They also surround other connective tissues, such as bone and cartilage.
