Solution

The correct option is B Thyroid cartilage
The Adam’s apple, also known as the laryngeal prominence, is made of cartilage. This is a connective tissue present throughout the body. Cartilage is strong, but softer and more flexible than bone, and it makes up several other areas of the neck. The Adam’s apple develops during puberty. It grows around the front of the larynx, just above the thyroid. It is usually more prominent in males.
So, the correct option is D.
