Solution

The correct option is D Tip of the nose

Cartilage is a resilient and smooth, elastic, rubber-like padding that covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints. It is a structural component of the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes, the intervertebral discs, and many other body components. It is not as hard and rigid as bone, but it is stiffer and less flexible than muscle.
Yellow fibrous cartilage tissue is found in pinna (external ear). It is also found at the tip of the nose.
