Solution

The correct option is A Cartilage
A joint is the site at which two or more bones articulate or come together. Joints allow flexibility and movement of the skeleton. Cartilage is a firm, flexible, and smooth connective tissue found at the ends of bones. Cartilage is present in joints to protect the bone and to evenly distribute forces to the underlying bone. It provides support to the bones and helps in the flexible movement of joints.
So, the answer is A.
