Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion Synovial fluid is a thick sticky fluid of egg white consistency, secreted by synovial membranes into the synovial cavity. Though the presence of synovial fluid is one of the reasons behind the mobility of the joints, but the most accurate reason is the arrangement of the bones at the joint, the spheroidal ball-like end of one bone articulates here with the cup-shaped depression in another. This allows the bone with the ball head to be
moved freely in many planes. Shoulder joints and hip joints are the ban-and-socket joints.
