The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Synovial Joint**: A synovial joint is a type of joint found between bones that allows for movement. These joints are characterized by a fluid-filled joint cavity that enables the bones to move against each other smoothly. 2. **Identifying Joint Types**: - The question provides several options for types of joints. We need to identify which of these is a synovial joint. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Pivot Joint**: This joint allows for rotational movement and is found between the first and second vertebrae (atlas and axis). While it is a type of joint, it is not classified as a synovial joint. - **Option 2: Fibrous Joint**: These joints are immovable and are found in the skull. They are not synovial joints. - **Option 3: Ball and Socket Joint**: This is a type of synovial joint where the rounded surface of one bone fits into the cup-like depression of another bone, allowing for a wide range of movement. - **Option 4: All of these**: This option suggests that all previous options are synovial joints, which is incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: After analyzing the options, the correct answer is **Option 3: Ball and Socket Joint**, as it is indeed a type of synovial joint.
