Answer
A
communication between the brain and the rest of the body

Explanation

Nervous tissue carries electrical signals that let the brain communicate with the rest of the body. Muscle contraction and movement are functions of muscle tissue, while transporting fluids and protecting organs are not the main functions of nervous tissue. Therefore, the correct choice is communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
