Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Membranous areas of the skull are called fontanels. This is important for facilitating easier birth, as the fontanels allow for some movement and flexibility of the skull bones during the birthing process. The fontanels eventually ossify and become the sutures in the adult skull.
