IMO B

Explanation: Difference between "Such" and "Like".
"Such" is used to indicate examples and "Like" is used to indicate similarity.

In this question, tissues are similar to tooth and bone.

confused b/w B & C....

A,D&E rejected due to such as......

we need comparison here.....so like is used...

B is pretty fine...the only problem is of modifiying phrase
" tissues like tooth and bone that are"

"that are" represnts whom....tissues or tooth and bone....


C looks good because of Resumptive modifier....but it looks awkward too...
Wats OA???
