Solution

The correct option is A Cartilaginous joint
Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage. Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint. It is found between ribs and sternum, where the rib articulates with the sternum via the costal cartilage. Hence, option A is correct.
