B) white fibrous cartilage

C) hyaline cartilage

D) areolar tissue

C) Hyaline cartilage connects the sternum to the ribs.

Hyaline cartilage:

They are glassy bluish-white coloured cartilage structure made of type II collagen, which provides support and flexibility for all joint movements.

Sternum and ribs:

• The rib cage along with the sternum are together called as the thoracic cage. This structure is a semi-bony cartilagenous structure which acts as the core structure of the human skeletal system.
• There are a total of twelve ribs of which only 10 are attached to the sternum by hyaline cartilage. The 11th and 12th cartilages are called as floating ribs since they are not attached to the sternum.
• The sternum forms the anterior attachment site of the rib cage while the vertebrae forms the posterior attachment part for the rib cage. They act as an attachment for various thoracic muscles and protects the thoracic organs.
