Solution
The correct option is D Both A and B
Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue in animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs. It is not as hard and rigid as bone, but it is stiffer and less flexible than muscle. Both, blood vessels and nerves are absent in cartilage. The nutrients are supplied to chondrocytes by diffusion. Therefore, option C is correct.
