Solution

The correct option is C Muscles
  • Bone is a connective tissue largely composed of protein fibres such as collagen and the inorganic mineral hydroxyapatite, which combine to provide a mechanical and supportive role in the body.
  • Blood contains hemoglobin protein, which transports oxygen to different tissues of the body.
  • Muscles contain special proteins called contractile proteins named myosin and actin, which are essential for muscle contraction.
  • Cartilage is a connective tissue comparatively softer than bones found in many areas of the body including joints between bones, external ear, and tip of the nose.

Hence, the correct option is C.
