Solution

The correct option is A Pubis of frog
Calcified cartilage is found in the pubis of the older frog. It is a modified hyaline cartilage which is hard and non-elastic due to calcium deposition. In men, it is found at the ends of long bones and in the heads of humerus and femur. It is also found in the shark vertebrae.
