Explanation:

• Costolabrum: This term is not a standard anatomical structure related to rib - sternum connection.
• Costal ligament: Ligaments are fibrous connective tissues that connect bones to bones, but the costal ligament is not the soft tissue connecting ribs 1 - 10 to the sternum.
• Costocartilage: Costal cartilage is the hyaline cartilage that connects the anterior ends of ribs 1 - 10 to the sternum.
• Rib tendon: Tendons connect muscles to bones, and there is no such structure as a "rib tendon" for this connection.

Answer:

Costocartilage
