Solution

The correct option is A
Cartilage

In the human body, nose and ears contain cartilage. The main difference between bone and cartilage is that bone is a hard and rigid tissue, whereas cartilage is a soft, elastic and flexible tissue. The cartilage is present in the ears, nose, and joints of the body, whereas bones make up the skeletal system of the body.
