Solution

The correct option is D Hinge
A hinge joint is a common class of synovial joint that includes the ankle, elbow and knee joints. Hinge joints are formed between two or more bones where the bones can only move along one axis to fold or extend. The elbow is a more complex hinge joint that forms between the humerus of the upper arm and the ulna and radius of the forearm. So, the correct answer is 'Hinge'.
