Given below are two statements.

Statement I: Areolar tissue present beneath the skin is a type of loose connective tissue.

Statement II: All the cells of areolar tissue are specialised to store fats.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Statement I is correct. Areolar tissue is indeed a type of loose connective tissue commonly found beneath the skin and surrounding organs.
