Solution
The correct option is
B
Cartilage
Bones form the endoskeleton in humans and are comparatively harder than cartilage.
Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in many parts of the body. It can bend a bit but resists stretching.
Its main function is to provide support and maintain the shape of flexible body parts like our external ears, nose, and larynx.
The ligament is the fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones.
Tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
