Final answer:
Smooth muscle cells are small, taper at both ends, and have a single central nucleus, characteristic of their tissue type found in places like blood vessel walls. So, the correct answer is option c.
Step-by-step explanation:
The type of muscle tissue that has small cells tapered at both ends, fat in the middle, and is uninucleate is smooth muscle. These cells are spindle-shaped and each cell has a single nucleus. Unlike skeletal muscle which has multiple nuclei per cell, and cardiac muscle cells which are branched and may have one or two nuclei per cell, smooth muscle cells have a central, plump nucleus and lack striations.
These muscles act involuntarily and are found within the walls of blood vessels and the digestive tract among other locations.
So, the correct answer is option c.
