Calcified cartilage
C
Elastic cartilage
D
Fibrous cartilage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Diarthroses. Most joints in the adult body are diarthroses, or freely movable joints. The singular form is diarthrosis. In this type of joint, the ends of the opposing bones are covered with hyaline cartilage, the articular cartilage, and they are separated by a space called the joint cavity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hyaline cartilage is found in the synovial joints and assists the motion of joints. It is composed of chondrocytes and extracellular matrix.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hyaline cartilage is found in the articular cartilage that covers the ends of the bones within a joint. It provides a smooth surface to reduce friction when a bone moves over another bone within the joint.

Detailed explanation-5: -The bones of a synovial joint are covered by a layer of hyaline cartilage that lines the epiphyses of joint ends of bone with a smooth, slippery surface that does not bind them together. This articular cartilage functions to absorb shock and reduce friction during movement.
