The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Pelvic Girdle**: The pelvic girdle consists of two halves, which are formed by three bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. Each half of the pelvic girdle is a mirror image of the other. 2. **Identifying the Bones**: - The **ilium** is the uppermost and largest part of the pelvic girdle. - The **ischium** is the lower part that you sit on. - The **pubis** is located at the front of the pelvic girdle. 3. **Joining of the Halves**: The two halves of the pelvic girdle are joined together at the front by a cartilaginous joint. 4. **Identifying the Joint**: This joint is specifically called the **pubic symphysis**. It allows for slight movement and provides stability to the pelvic girdle. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the two halves of the pelvic girdle are joined together by the **pubic symphysis**. ---
