Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

Hyaline cartilage is present at the end of long articular bones . It provides a smooth articular surface to permit movement at joints. Elastic cartilage is found where support with flexibility is needed such as in external ears.
Fibrous cartilage is a very tough substance and is used in places of the body where shock absorbers are needed e.g., discs between the vertebrae and in the knee joint .
