Solution

The correct option is A Both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
Synovial joints- These are the joints which allow considerable movement as they contain synovial fluid present between the spaces of the articulating surfaces of two bones. These joints are exemplified through the joints of the shoulder, hip, elbow, etc. The fluid found in the synovial cavity is the synovial fluid which is a thick, clear lubricating liquid. This reduces friction between the bones when they move against each other, hence it provides better movement of the joints.
