Dear student,
 
Option B
∙   Adipose tissue are fat-storing tissues found below the skin
and between internal organs. 
∙  Their cells are filled with fat globules and act as an insulator.
 
Explanation for incorrect options: 
Option A: Cuboidal epithelium cells are cube-shaped cells that provide mechanical support. They form the lining of kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands.
Option C: Bone is connective tissue. It forms the framework that supports the body. It also anchors the muscles and supports the main organs of the body.
Option D: Cartilage is a connective tissue that has widely spaced cells. They have a solid matrix composed of proteins and sugars. They smoothen the bone surfaces at joints.
 
Conclusion:  Thus, fats are stored in the human body as adipose tissue.
