Solution

The correct option is B Perichondrium
Periosteum is a membrane covering the outer surface of bone, except at the joints of long bones.
Chondrocytes (cartilage cell) are contained in cavities in the matrix. Such cavities are called as lacunae.
The osteoclast is a large multinucleate cell, which is involved in bone remodeling. It is mainly involved in bone resorption.
Perichondrium is formed by irregularly placed connective tissue, which surrounds the surface of cartilage. Hence, option B is correct.
