Solution

The correct option is B chondroitin salts
Bones are specialized connective tissues with hard and non-pliable matrices. The ground substance is made up of calcium salts and collagen fibres that give strength and hardness to the bones.
Cartilages are specialized connective tissues with flexible and slightly pliable matrices due to the presence of chondroitin salts.
