Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Option A : Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Explanation : Ligaments are a type of dense regular connective tissue, not irregular. They connect bones to other bones, providing stability and support.
On the other hand, cartilage is a type of specialized connective tissue that is not classified as dense. It's composed of cells called chondrocytes which are embedded in a matrix of collagen and elastic fibers. It's neither dense regular nor dense irregular tissue.
Therefore, both statements I and II are incorrect.
