Solution

The correct option is B Arthrodial membrane
The dorsally located terga and ventrally situated sterna are joined to each other by a thin and flexible articular membrane called arthrodial membrane. It occurrs between skeletal elements and helps in relative movement. Hence, it is also known as intersegmental membrane.
So, the correct option is 'Arthroidal membrane'.
