b. "Blast" cells are undifferentiated, actively dividing cells.

Explanation:

Connective tissue cells are dividing cells. These cells are fibroblasts. Mast cells, adipocytes and leukocytes. Blasts are immature dividing cells which are precursor to different connective tissue cells. Connective tissue does contain cells I. e fibroblasts, chondrocytes, osteocytes, etc. Chondroblasts are only found in cartilage not all types of connective tissue.
