Answer: 3. Cartilage

Key idea: Adjacent vertebrae are separated by intervertebral discs made of fibrocartilage.

These cartilaginous discs act as shock absorbers and allow slight movement. Smooth muscle and intercalated discs are not found between vertebrae (intercalated discs belong to cardiac muscle). Areolar tissue is a loose connective tissue, not a joint pad. So the answer is cartilage.
