Fibrocartilage is correctly matched with the meniscus of the knee, as it provides support and absorbs shock in joints that endure a lot of pressure, such as the knee and intervertebral discs. Elastic cartilage is found in structures like the ear, not at the ends of bones, and hyaline cartilage, not fibrocartilage, covers the ends of bones in joints.
