Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both bone and cartilage contain more intercellular matrix than cells, and their cells are located in lacunae. In bone, the cells are supplied with food and oxygen through canaliculi, while in cartilage, the cells are supplied through diffusion from the surrounding matrix. Therefore, statement A is true for both, while statement B is only true for bone. Statement C is also true for both. Thus, only option D is correct.
