D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nasal cartilages are made up of a flexible material called hyaline cartilage (packed collagen) in the distal portion of the nose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hyaline cartilage It lines your joints and caps the ends of your bones. Hyaline cartilage at the ends of your bones is sometimes referred to as articular cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is slippery and smooth which helps your bones move smoothly past each other in your joints.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hyaline cartilage matrix is primarily made of type II collagen and chondroitin sulphate, both of which are also found in elastic cartilage. Hyaline cartilage exists on the sternal ends of the ribs, in the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, and on the articulating surfaces of bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nasal septum cartilage is a hyaline cartilage that provides structural support to the nasal cavity and midface. Currently, information on its cellular and mechanical properties is widely dispersed and has often been inferred from studies conducted on other cartilage types such as the knee.
