Answer:

Plasma

Step-by-step explanation:

The blood is a key part of the circulatory system. It is a tissue composed of cells that make it up. The blood contains the following components namely; plasma, red blood cells/erythrocytes, white blood cells/leukocytes, and platelets/thrombocytes.

The plasma is referred to as the "liquid" part of the blood and makes up the major part of the blood tissue. The plasma contains 90% water, and 10% dissolved materials like nutrients, minerals, vitamins, digested food, and salts. Hence, based on this question, the answer is PLASMA.
