Solution

The correct option is A Ball and socket joint
The correct option is A.
The “ball” portion of the shoulder joint, or glenohumeral joint, is the rounded head of the upper arm bone, called the humerus. The “socket” portion is the shallow, dish-like part of the scapula (shoulder blade) that is called the glenoid.
