• A. fibrous connective tissue, suture
• B. cartilages, suture
• C. suture, fibrous connective tissue

The correct option is A fibrous connective tissue, suture

Joints are the articulations between bones to bone or bones and cartilages. Joints are important for the movement of bony parts. There are three types of joints, viz., fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints and synovial joints.

Fibrous joints are commonly found in the skull where flat skull bones are connected by the dense white fibrous connective tissues. This type of joint doesn’t allow any movement. These joints between the bones of the skull are called sutures.
Cartilages are the flexible connective tissue and their cells are called chondrocytes. They are smooth, flexible, and usually elastic. Thus, they protect the end part of the long bones.
Cartilaginous joints - Bones are joined together with the help of cartilages. This type of joint allows limited movement. For example, the joints between adjacent vertebrae in the vertebral column are cartilaginous joints.
