NEET Zoology Skeletal System MCQ Question
Which combination of statements about the skeletal system is correct?
The skeletal system provides a framework of bones and cartilages, is divided into axial and appendicular skeletons, and joints allow for varying degrees of movement.
All joints in the skeletal system are freely movable, and the axial skeleton consists of 206 bones.
The skeletal system is made up of soft tissues and provides no support for movement.
Fibrous joints allow for movement and are formed by dense connective tissues.

Option B incorrectly states that all joints are freely movable and misrepresents the bone count. Option C is incorrect as the skeletal system is a hard framework. Option D mischaracterizes fibrous joints, which do not allow movement.
