The acetabulum is a shallow, narrow joint.
A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Acetabular dysplasia, or hip dysplasia, is a disorder that occurs when the acetabulum (hip socket) is shallow and doesn’t provide sufficient coverage of the femoral head (ball), causing instability of the hip joint.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the ball isn’t seated firmly into the socket, the socket will not fully form around the ball and will become too shallow. During the final month before birth, the space within the womb can become so crowded that the ball of the hip joint moves out of its proper position, which results in a shallower socket.
