Answer 1

The correct option is A Elbow joint

Joints are the junctions where two or more than two bones are connected to each other, which allows various body movements. There are different types of joints allowing various degrees of movement. For example:
$\bullet$ Hinge joints allow back and forth movement. E.g., knee and elbow joint.
$\bullet$ Ball and socket joints allow movement in all directions. E.g., shoulder and hip joints.
$\bullet$ Pivot joints allow movement in left, right, forward and backward directions. E.g., neck joints.
