Which of the following connective tissues supports the soft tissues and reduces friction at joints?
A
Cartilage
B
Muscle tissue
C
Bone tissue
D
Fibrous connective tissue
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cartilage is a strong, flexible connective tissue that protects your joints and bones. It acts as a shock absorber throughout your body. Cartilage at the end of your bones reduces friction and prevents them from rubbing together when you use your joints.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hyaline cartilage is found in the articular cartilage that covers the ends of the bones within a joint. It provides a smooth surface to reduce friction when a bone moves over another bone within the joint.

Detailed explanation-3: -An extensive network of collagen fibrils provides cartilage with mechanical integrity, but developing strategies to replicate this collagen network remains a challenge for articular cartilage tissue engineering efforts.
