Solution

The answer is the fourth one: Fibrocartilage.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Collagen fibers: These are components of connective tissues, providing strength and structure, but they are not a type of cartilage or tissue blend themselves.

  2. Bone: Bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the vertebrate skeleton. It is not a blend of hyaline cartilage and dense regular connective tissue.

  3. Elastic cartilage: This type of cartilage contains elastic fibers and is more flexible, found in structures like the ear. It is not primarily known for withstanding heavy pressure.

  4. Fibrocartilage: This is indeed a blend of hyaline cartilage and dense regular connective tissue. It is compressible, resists tension well, and is found in areas requiring strong support and the ability to withstand heavy pressure, such as intervertebral discs and the menisci of the knee.

  5. I don't know: This option is for when the answer is not known, but in this case, the correct answer is identifiable.

In summary, fibrocartilage is the correct answer as it matches the description provided in the question.
