Correct AnswerExplanation:
- The human shoulder joint is an example of a ball and socket joint.
- Ball and socket joints allow for movement in many directions. This joint type enables the shoulder's wide range of motion.
- Fixed joints (Option 1) are immovable. They consist of bones that are fused together, like the skull bones.
- Pivotal joints (Option 2) allow rotation around a single axis, like the neck joint.
- Hinge joints (Option 3) only allow movement in one direction, similar to a door hinge, found in knees and elbows.
