Solution

The correct option is C
Hinge joint

The bones in the knee and arm have hinge joints. Hinge joints are like hinges of a door which allows only back and forth movement. Fixed joints are present on the skull and do not allow any movement. Ball and socket joints are present in the shoulder and allows movement in multiple planes. Pivot joints allow movement in a single axis and are found where the neck meets the head.
