Solution

The correct option is C Transparent
In Hyaline cartilage, the matrix is transparent. It is located on many of the joint surfaces. It is pearly bluish in color with firm consistency and has a large amount of collagen. Externally, it is covered by a fibrous membrane, called the perichondrium, except at the articular ends of bones and also where it is found directly under the skin, i.e., ears and nose. This membrane contains vessels that provide the cartilage with nutrition.
