Solution

The correct option is D
Chondrocytes

The correct option is D:
Cartilaginous tissue is made up of cells called chondroblast which on maturation become surrounded by special fluid filled chambers called lacuna and become chondrocytes. These cells secrete cartilage matrix.
Mast cells are white blood cells that are found throughout the body mainly under the skin, blood and lymph vessels, intestine, lungs, nerves etc.
Basophils are granulocytic white blood cells which release histamine and heparin.
Osteocytes are living bone cells which are strong and non-flexible.
