Solution

The correct option is C Fibrocartilage
Intervertebral disc lies between adjacent vertebrae in the spine. Each disc forms a fibrocartilaginous joint to allow slight movement of the vertebrae and acts as a ligament to hold the vertebrae together. Their important role is that they act as shock absorber.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (C), 'Fibrocartilage'.
