Solution

The correct option is B Cartilage
Cartilage lacks blood supply. Cartilage does not contain blood vessels. The chondrocytes are supplied by diffusion. The compression of the articular cartilage or flexion of the elastic cartilage generates the pumping action, which assists the diffusion of the chondrocytes. Thus, compared to other connective tissues, cartilage grows and repairs more slowly.
