That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Chondrocytes are the correct answer because they are mature cartilage cells. Chondrocytes are responsible for maintaining and repairing the cartilage matrix. They produce and maintain the extracellular matrix of cartilage, which consists of collagen fibers, proteoglycans, and water. Chondrocytes are found in the lacunae within the cartilage matrix and are responsible for the synthesis and turnover of the cartilage components.
