The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Trees grow by forming one growth ring each year. These rings are clearly visible in a cross-section of a wooden log. Explanation:
Each ring represents one year of growth of the tree.
By counting the number of rings in a wooden log, the age of the tree (and hence the wood) can be determined.
The rings do not directly indicate strength, colour, or defects of the wood. Hence, the rings of a wooden log represent the age of the wood.
Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{Age of the wood}}\)
