Answer:

The correct answer will be option- B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Synovial fluid is a clear slippery fluid which is present in the synovial cavity.

The synovial fluid helps the nourishment as it provides nutrients to the and oxygen to the hyaline cartilage of the bones as well as the lubrication of the cartilage surfaces due to the viscous nature like oil which lubricates the piston.

This smooth surface facilitates the smooth and painless movements between the bones, therefore, the Option-B is the correct answer.
