The correct answer is B. Preventing friction between bones

Explanation:

Cartilage is a soft, and elastic tissue that protects the end of bones in articulations; although this tissue also forms structures such as the ear. In the case of cartilage in bones, the main function of this is to act as a protector for the bones by reducing the friction between them. For example, cartilage is found in the joints. This is necessary because bones are hard structures and direct friction between them would lead to deterioration of the bones. According to this, the main function of cartilage is preventing friction between bones.

Air temperature: When temperatures (and the humidity) soar, the heart pumps a little more blood, so your pulse rate may increase, but usually no more than five to 10 beats a minute.<span>Body position: Resting, sitting or standing, your pulse is usually the same. Sometimes as you stand for the first 15 to 20 seconds, your pulse may go up a little bit, but after a couple of minutes it should settle down. Emotions: If you’re stressed, anxious or “extraordinarily happy or sad” your emotions can raise your pulse. </span><span>Body size: Body size usually doesn’t change pulse. If you’re very obese, you might see a higher resting pulse than normal, but usually not more than 100. </span><span>Medication use: Meds that block your adrenaline (beta blockers) tend to slow your pulse, while too much thyroid medication or too high of a dosage will raise it.
