Solution
The correct option is B Fibrous joint
A suture is a type of fibrous joint that is only found in the skull. The bones are bound together by Sharpey's fibers. A tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull. Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage (fibrocartilage or hyaline). Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint.A hinge joint is a common class of synovial joint that includes the ankle, elbow, and knee joints. A ball and socket joint is a type of synovial joint, such as the hip and shoulder joints.
