Answer:

b. Cartilage thinning

Explanation:

  The joints of our body are lined with hyaline cartilage, a tissue with unique characteristics that can shape and make bones slide in perfect sync over each other. The cartilage tissue acts as a lining of the bony surfaces of the knee, preventing friction between them and also absorbing the impact we generate when we move.  

 The nonweight bearing or overweight can lead to a damage to this cartilage, which can cause pain, loss of movement, accumulation of fluid content in the knee and, in more severe cases, lead to cartilage thinning.

If you run aground in an outboard boat and you are not taking on water, what is the first step in attempting to free your vessel
sdas [7]
If you run aground in an outboard boat and you are not taking on water, the first step in attempting to free your vessel is to stop the boat's engine, try to lift the out drive and shift the weight away from the impact point. After assessing the situation and you are sure that the boat is not taking in water, set an anchor to safe yourself from being pushed further aground, then use a boat hook to check the depth of the water around you. To get moving again, try to back off by shifting the weight farthest from the point of impact and use an oar to push off.
