A. They allow no movement between them
B. They are joined by dense connective tissue
C. They are temporary structures
D. They involve bony fusion
**Correct Answer: A. They allow no movement between them**
**Rationale:** Synostoses are joints where two bones have completely fused
together, resulting in an immobile, bony union. While they are joined by dense
connective tissue that ossifies over time, they are not temporary in adults but
