{'contractile proteins': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'muscle tissue': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'tissues': [6, 0, 3, 7], 'nervous tissue': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'blood tissue': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'bone tissue': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'types': [11, 3, 20, 23]}

The correct answer is option 2, muscle tissue.

Muscle tissue is specialized for contraction and movement. It is composed of cells called muscle fibers that are capable of generating force by contracting. Muscle fibers contain contractile proteins, specifically actin and myosin. When these proteins interact, they cause the muscle fiber to contract, leading to movement of the body.

Nervous tissue, option 1, is responsible for transmitting electrical signals in the body and does not contain contractile proteins.

Bone tissue, option 3, is a connective tissue that provides support and protection, but it does not contract.

Blood tissue, option 4, consists of cells and plasma but does not have contractile proteins.

Therefore, the correct answer is muscle tissue, as it is the type of tissue that has contractile proteins.
