The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks what the glenoid cavity articulates with. This requires knowledge of the anatomy of the shoulder joint. 2. **Identifying the Glenoid Cavity**: The glenoid cavity is a part of the scapula (shoulder blade). It is a shallow socket that plays a crucial role in the shoulder joint. 3. **Recognizing the Function of the Glenoid Cavity**: The primary function of the glenoid cavity is to articulate with the head of the humerus, which is the bone of the upper arm. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - Option A: Clavicle with scapula - This is incorrect as the clavicle connects to the scapula at the acromion, not the glenoid cavity. - Option B: Humerus with scapula - This is correct because the head of the humerus fits into the glenoid cavity. - Option C: Clavicle with acromion - This is also incorrect as it does not involve the glenoid cavity. - Option D: Scapula with acromion - This is incorrect as the acromion is part of the scapula and does not articulate with the glenoid cavity. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that the glenoid cavity articulates with the head of the humerus. ### Final Answer: The glenoid cavity articulates with the head of the humerus. ---
