A Correct answer
Explanation

Collagen fibers are the strongest and most abundant of the three fiber types, providing high tensile strength to resist pulling forces. Elastic fibers provide stretch and recoil, while reticular fibers form a delicate, supportive network for organs but lack the sheer strength of collagen. Cuticular fibers are not a standard type of human connective tissue fiber.
