• B. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• C. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
• D. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Statement I is false - Ligaments are not dense irregular tissue. Ligaments are dense regular connective tissue that connects bone to bone and provides strength and stability to joints.
Statement II is false - Cartilage is not dense regular tissue. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that is more flexible than bone and provides structural support to various body parts.
Ligaments are dense regular connective tissue while cartilage are specialised connective tissue.
Therefore, the correct option is (A): Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
