Solution

The correct option is B Perichondrium
Perichondrium is the outer covering of the cartilage that receives blood. The interiors of the cartilage do not receive any kind of blood supply as the Haversian canals, whose main task is to circulate blood, are absent in the cartilage. The nutrients diffuse in cartilage from nutrient rich area perichondrium.
