The answer is C) death of a spouse

Many older people experience depression due to loneliness and bereavement. Couples that have been married for a very lengthy period of time are obviously dependent on one another physically and emotionally and when a spouse passes away life changes completely for the person still living. For many elderly couples this new loneliness can cause depression.

In a fibrous joint, bones are held together by dense connective tissue that contains many fibers of the protein
masha68 [24]

In a fibrous joint, bones are held together by dense connective tissue called ligament that contains many fibers of the protein.

<h3>What is ligament?</h3>

A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that connects bones and serves to hold tissues together and stabilize them.

A ligament can be ripped or strained. A sprain is the medical term for this type of damage. It happens when a ligament is forced to stretch too far or moves in the wrong direction. Sprains commonly occur as a result of a rapid fall, twist, or collision.
