Final answer:
All major cartilages of the larynx including the thyroid, cricoid, arytenoid, and corniculate cartilages are made of hyaline cartilage. The correct answer is All of the above.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is e. All of the above. The larynx is a key structure in the human respiratory system that is composed of several pieces of cartilage, most of which are hyaline cartilage. This includes the thyroid cartilage, the largest piece forming the anterior wall and the laryngeal prominence, also known as the "Adam's apple"; the cricoid cartilage, which forms a complete ring with a wide posterior section and a thinner anterior portion; and the smaller paired cartilages like the arytenoid and corniculate cartilages. Hyaline cartilage is a strong and flexible tissue that forms not only the cartilage of the larynx but also structures like the rings in the trachea.
