Solution
The correct option is A Cartilagenous joint
Answer is option A i.e. "Cartilagenous joint"
The joint between the first rib and the sternum is cartilaginous. It is also called as sternocostal joint. These joints allow a very small amount of movement.
The bones of fibrous joints are joined by fibrous tissue, e.g. sutures in the skull or the pelvis. Fibrous joints allow no movement at all.
The bones of synovial joints meet in a joint capsule, e.g. the knee joint where the femur and tibia meet. These joints are the most common and most moveable joints in the human body.
