Solution

The correct option is D Chondrocytes
Cartilaginous tissue consists of an amorphous matrix interspersed with collagen and elastin fibres. The cells that form the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the fibres are chondrocytes that are found dispersed within the matrix.
Osteocytes are the specialized cells of bones.
Erythrocytes and leucocytes are components of blood.

So, the correct answer is 'Chondrocytes'
