Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Bones joined by cartilage are called cartilaginous joints, also known as amphiarthroses. They allow limited movement. Synovial joints have a synovial cavity and are more mobile. Sutures are fibrous joints between skull - bones. Synarthroses are immovable joints. Synostosis is a bony fusion. Gomphosis is a joint where a tooth is held in its socket by collagen fibers. Since the question asks about bones joined by cartilage, the correct term is amphiarthrosis.

Answer:

amphiarthrosis
