Solution

The correct option is A Clavicle and acromion process of scapula
The shoulder joint, also known as an acromioclavicular joint is a joint at the top of the shoulder. It is the junction between acromion (part of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder) and the clavicle. It is a plane synovial joint. This joint provides the ability to raise the arm above the head.
So, the correct answer is 'Clavicle and acromion process of scapula'.
