C
synovial
D
none-they all have movement
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A fibrous joint is a fixed joint where fibrous tissue comprised primarily of collagen connects bones. Fibrous joints are usually immoveable (synarthroses) and have no joint cavity . They are subdivided further into sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses . Sutures are immobile joints in the cranium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Immovable – the two or more bones are in close contact, but no movement can occur – for example, the bones of the skull. The joints of the skull are called sutures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fibrous Joints The amount of movement allowed depends on the length of the connective tissue fibers uniting the bones. Although a few are slightly movable, most fibrous joints are immovable. The three types of fibrous joints are sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses. Sutures are immobile joints in the cranium.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are joined by strong fibrous tissue rich in collagen. These joints allow for very little movement (if any) and are often referred to as synarthroses.
