Which of the following statements regarding the biomechanical properties of cartilage is correct?
A) The deformation of cartilage helps to increase the joint contact area and decrease range of motion at the joint.
B) It has an elastic modulus in compression that decreases with increasing depth from the cartilage surface because of the collagen fibre orientation.
C) The compressive modulus decreases with load as the cartilage is compressed and the chondromes resist the load.
D) After the load is removed, cartilage returns to its initial elasticity within a relatively short time providing that the load was of short enough duration and low enough magnitude.
