Answer:

Cartilage thinning.

Explanation:

Cartilage is a type of flexible connective tissue present in the larynx and ears. The cartilage has high elasticity and more tensile strength. The ends of the long bone and the joints are protected by cartilage.

The articular cartilage gets brittle with the old age and can be explained by the wear and tear of tissue. The non weight bearing for the months may result in decrease in the functioning of the cartilage. This might puts pressure on cartilage if sudden weight is applied this might result in thinning of the cartilage. Mechanical load result in the wear and tear of the tissue.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
