Solution

The correct option is C Radius and ulna
The moving bone rotates within a ring that is formed from a second bone and adjoining ligaments. The pivot joint is exemplified by the joint between the atlas and the axis directly under the skull which allows for turning of the head from side to side.
So, the correct option is 'radius and ulna'.
