Solution

The correct option is D D
Synovial joints are characterised by the presence of a fluid filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. These joints help in locomotion and many other movements. Ball and socket joint (between humerus and pectoral girdle), hinge joint (knee joint), pivot joint (between atlas and axis), gliding joint (between the carpals) and saddle joint (between carpal and metacarpal of thumb) are some examples.
