Solution

The correct option is B Nonaxial
C. Uniaxial
Reason: A hinge joint is a common class of synovial joint that includes the elbow, and knee joints. These joints are formed between two bones where the bones can only move along one axis to flex or extend. That's why those are considered uniaxial or monoaxial.
