The correct match histologically is:
Explanation
Histologically, all three matches are accurate. The liver is characterized by Glisson's capsule (a connective tissue layer) and Kupffer cells, which are specialized macrophages located within the hepatic sinusoids [t1, t4, t6, t7]. Note that 'Clissoris' in the option is a common typographical error for 'Glisson's'. In the lungs, Clara cells (now known as club cells) are found in the bronchioles, while dust cells (alveolar macrophages) reside in the alveoli to clear debris. The brain's histology primarily consists of neurons, which transmit electrical signals, and astrocytes, which are star-shaped glial cells providing structural and metabolic support. Since each organ is correctly paired with its specific histological components, the correct option is 'All of these'.
