Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Joints are classified structurally based on the connective tissue that binds them, such as fibrous tissue or cartilage. Functionally, joints are classified based on the degree of motion they allow, such as synarthroses (immovable joints), amphiarthroses (slightly movable joints) or diarthroses (freely movable joints). Thus, option C, which mentions "connective tissue" as the structural classification and "degree of motion" as the functional classification, is the best choice.
