Salome injured some of her cartilage in her shoulder during a tennis match. Her doctor said that it is likely to heal slowly. Why?

Salome is diabetic.
Cartilage doesn’t have a blood supply.
Cartilage is blocked from healing by its location in the body.
None of the above; only sharks and other marine animals have cartilage.
