Solution

The correct option is D Hyaline cartilage
Long bones are hard, dense bones that provide strength, structure, and mobility. The femur (thigh bone) is a long bone. A long bone has a shaft and two ends. They grow primarily by elongation of the diaphysis with an epiphysis at each end of the growing bone. The ends of the epiphysis are covered with hyaline cartilage.
Thus, the correct answer is the option D.
