Correct answer: A

To match the items in List-I (Location of Joint) with items in List-II (Type of Joint), consider the following relationships:

(A) Joint between humerus and pectoral girdle: This is a ball and socket joint because the humerus fits into the glenoid cavity of the pectoral girdle allowing a wide range of movement in all directions.

(B) Knee joint: This is a hinge joint, allowing movement primarily in one direction (flexion and extension).

(C) Joint between atlas and axis: This is a pivot joint because the atlas (C1 vertebra) rotates around the axis (C2 vertebra), allowing for the rotation of the head.

(D) Joint between carpals: This is a gliding joint because the bones in the wrist (carpals) slide over each other, allowing limited movement in various directions.

With this understanding, let's match List-I with List-II:

List - I
Location of Joint
List - II
Type of Joint
(A)Joint between humerus and pectoral girdle(II)Ball and Socket joint
(B)Knee joint(III)Hinge joint
(C)Joint between atlas and axis(IV)Pivot joint
(D)Joint between carpals(I)Gliding joint

From the matching, the correct answer is:

Option A: A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I.
