Solution

The correct option is B Hinge joint
The upper limb is composed of two bones, the humerus, and ulna, and is the junction between the trochlear notch of the ulna and the trochlea of the humerus. It is classified as a simple hinge-joint, which allows for movements of flexion, extension, and circumduction.
