Vedclass · Answer

(D) saddle joint is a type of synovial joint where one of the bones forming the joint is shaped like a saddle with other bone resting on it like a rider on a horse.This type of joint allows for movement in two planes (flexion-extension and abduction-adduction).The most classic example of a saddle joint in the human body is the joint between the carpal bone (specifically the trapezium) and the metacarpal bone of the thumb.Therefore,the correct option is $D$.

$R$. Pivot joint	$III$. Between carpal and metacarpal of thumb
