Solution

The correct option is D Cartilage
Cartilage is the supportive skeletal structures in the human external ears and in the nose tip. The intercellular material of cartilage is solid and pliable and resists compression. Cartilage is also present in the vertebral column, limbs and hands in adults.

Areolar tissue is loose connective tissue in which cells and fibres loosely arranged in a semi-fluid ground substance. It is present below the skin and serves as a support framework for epithelium.

Ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which connects bone to bone.

Bone is a specialised connective tissue which forms the skeletal framework of the body.
