Trachea

abhisar · Answer

Its function is to prevent the wind pipe or trachea from collapsing while breathing

anonymous · Answer

but it has rings , question is about plates . Are both same ? :/

abhisar · Answer

Perhaps, because non of the other options have anything like cartilage

anonymous · Answer

Bronchi have the same cartilage rings as the trachea, but the rings are progressively replaced by irregularly distributed cartilage plates .

Yes, i am sorry..hang on

Cartilage plates are present in the bronchi

anonymous · Answer

As its progressively replaced so I think it should be distal
