Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the classification of connective tissue. Connective tissue is broadly divided into connective tissue proper, supporting connective tissue, and fluid connective tissue.
Step 2: Learn the types of connective tissue proper. Connective tissue proper includes loose connective tissues (e.g., adipose tissue, areolar connective tissue) and dense connective tissues (e.g., dense regular connective tissue).
Step 3: Recognize that cartilage is classified as supporting connective tissue, not connective tissue proper. Supporting connective tissue includes cartilage and bone.
Step 4: Compare the options provided in the question. Adipose tissue, areolar connective tissue, and dense regular connective tissue are all types of connective tissue proper, while cartilage belongs to a different category.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is cartilage, as it is not a type of connective tissue proper but rather a type of supporting connective tissue.
