<reasoning>

Identify the joint type between vertebrae

Using the Joint Anatomy knowledge point

• The joints between adjacent vertebral bodies are connected by intervertebral discs made of fibrocartilage.
• Structurally, joints connected entirely by cartilage are classified as cartilaginous joints (specifically, symphyses).
• Therefore, the correct option is "cartilaginous".
