E)All of the answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

Joints are classified based on their range of motion (e.g., synovial joints allow for wide range of motion), their structure (e.g., fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial), and the type of movement they allow (e.g., hinge, pivot, ball and socket). The amount of cartilage present can also be a factor in classifying joints, especially when distinguishing between different types of cartilaginous joints.
