    1. Calcified cartilage
    2. Hyaline cartilage
    3. Elastic cartilage

Correct Option: B

Hyaline cartilage is present at the end of long articular bones. It provides a smooth articular surface to permit movement at joints. Elastic cartilage is found where support with flexibility is needed such as in external ears. Fibro cartilage is a very tough substance and is used in places of the body where shock absorbers are needed. Examples – Discs between vertebrate and in the knee joints.
