(a) Chondrocytes
(b) Osteoblasts
(c) Osteoclasts
(d) Fibroblasts

Correct Answer:

Chondrocytes

Explanation:

At the time of cartilage formation, chondrification starts in mesenchymal cells and chondroblast cells are formed at the centre of chondrification. Then chondroblasts become entrapped in the extracellular matrix that they secrete, they are now known as chondrocytes. With this entrapment cartilage begins to form.
