Solution

The correct option is D fibrous cartilage
There are three types of cartilage - hyaline, fibrous and elastic cartilage.

Fibrous cartilage has many collagen fibres and it is found in intervertebral discs. It is the strongest kind of cartilage.

Hyaline cartilage is the most widespread and it has a glassy appearance. It is found in ribs, nose, larynx, trachea.

Elastic cartilage provides strength and elasticity. It is present in the external ear.
