Solution
The correct option is A Cartilage
Cartilage acts as a shock absorber when two bones come together. Cartilage covers the surface of joints, enabling bones to slide over one another while reducing friction and preventing damage.
It helps to support the body weight during physical activity. Ligaments help in the attachment of two bones, tendons help in the attachment of bones and muscles.
