  • A Calcified
  • B Hyaline
  • C Elastic
  • D Fibrous
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Hyaline cartilage is the type of cartilage present at the joints of long bones in humans. It provides a smooth surface for joint movement, absorbs shock, and reduces friction. Fibrous and elastic cartilages are found in other parts of the body, while calcified cartilage is a stage in endochondral ossification, not a type of cartilage found in joints.
