These cells have both similar functions, such as carrying out a specific task like contracting in muscle tissue, and similar structures, such as having similar shapes or types of organelles. This allows them to work together efficiently and effectively. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because tissues are defined by more than just appearance, location, or age; they are primarily characterized by their shared function and structure.
