Correct choice is (b) bone
The explanation: Biological soft tissues are nonlinear, anisotropic, fibrous composites, and a detailed description of their behavior is the subject of active research. Hard tissue, mineralized tissue, and calcified tissue are often used as synonyms for bone when describing the structure and properties of bone or tooth. One can separate these tissues based on their mode of loading: cartilage is generally loaded in compression; tendons and ligaments are loaded in tension, and muscles generate active tension.
