Solution

The correct option is C Synovial joint
Joints are points of contact between bones, or between bones and cartilages.
Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a fluid-filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. These joints help in locomotion and many other movements.
Hence the type of joint has a fluid-filled cavity with a significant role in locomotion is synovial joint.
So, the correct answer is 'Synovial joint'.
