Solution
The correct option is D Humerus and radio-ulna
A hinge joint (ginglymus) is a bone joint in which the articular surfaces are moulded to each other in such a manner as to permit motion only in one plane-backward and forward-the extent of motion at the same time being considerable. The best examples of hinge joint are the inter phalangeal joints and the joint between the humerus and ulna; the knee and ankle-joints are less typical, as they allow a slight degree of rotation or of side-to-side movement in certain positions of the limb. The knee is the largest hinge joint in the human body.
