A Correct answer
Explanation

Cartilaginous joints are themselves classified into synchondroses (primary cartilaginous joints) and symphyses (secondary cartilaginous joints). When fully formed, each group shares common features and also has distinctive structural and functional features. The terms primary and secondary are only useful in the instances of certain symphyses which, developmentally, are preceded by synchondroses within which further differentiation occurs.
