The correct answer is option 1: Fibrous Cartilage.

Fibrous cartilage is a tough and strong type of cartilage that contains dense collagen fibers. It is found in certain parts of the body that require strength and flexibility, such as the intervertebral discs in the spine, the pubic symphysis, and the temporomandibular joint.

During childbirth, the pubic symphysis, which is a joint formed by fibrous cartilage, plays a crucial role. It allows the pelvic girdle to expand and flex, enabling the easy passage of the baby through the birth canal. The fibrous cartilage in the pubic symphysis provides support and stability to the pelvic region while also allowing for the necessary adjustments during labor.

Options 2, 3, and 4 are not the correct answers because they refer to other types of cartilage that do not play a significant role in the easy birth of young ones.

In conclusion, fibrous cartilage is specifically designed to facilitate easy birth without causing damage to the pelvic girdle.
