Solution

The correct option is C Hinge joint
The hinge joint is a synovial joint, which permits uni-axial movement of bone about one axis of rotation. In a hinge joint, the convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another. The movements possible are flexion and extension. Examples of hinge joints are elbow (radio-ulna with upper arm), interphalangeal joint, knee and ankle joints.
