B

C

D
distribute nutrients to cartilage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The principal role of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilages of synovial joints during movement. The presence of high molar mass hyaluronan (HA) in this fluid gives it the required viscosity for its function as lubricant solution.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ellipsoid/Condyloid (Radius to carpal joint – wrist) – allows movement in two planes, allowing flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -It lubricates the joint and allows the ends of the bones to move without friction. It contains nutrients needed for the cartilage at the ends of the bones and carries away waste from within the joint capsule. It acts as a shock absorber within the joint. 09-Jan-2022
