Solution

The correct option is A Fibrocartilage

Elastic cartilage is the one in which the chondrocyte are located in a thread like network of elastic fibers. Elastic cartilage provides strength and elasticity and maintains the shape of certain organs like epiglottis, larynx, the external part of the ear and Eustachian tube.
