What do we call the strong connective tissue that supports the body and is softer and more flexible than bone?

Carbohydrate
Carbon Dioxide
Cartilage
Cathode

The correct answer is: Cartilage

Cartilage is the strong connective tissue that supports the body and is softer and more flexible than bone. This is because it contains a large amount of collagen fibers, which provide support and strength to the tissue. Carbohydrates, carbon dioxide, and cathode are not related to this type of tissue and do not provide the same supportive function. Carbohydrates provide energy, carbon dioxide is a waste product, and cathode is an electrode used in electrical circuits. Therefore, these options are incorrect and not relevant to the question.
