D Correct answer
Explanation

Elastic fibers provide elasticity and resilience, allowing tissues to stretch and return to their original shape. They are abundant in the skin to maintain firmness, in the lungs to assist with breathing expansion, and in blood vessels to handle pressure changes. Thus, they are commonly found in all of these tissues.
