Correct Answer
CYellow elastic tissue
DAdipose connective tissue

Solution

The perichondrium is white fibrous connective tissue. The perichondrium is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue, which surrounds the cartilage of developing bone.
It consists of two separate layers namely, an outer fibrous layer and an inner chondrogenic layer. The fibrous layer contains fibroblasts, which produce collagenous fibers. The chondrogenic layer remains undifferentiated and can form chondroblasts or chondrocytes.
So, the correct answer is option B.
