c) option is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Each synovial joint has a fibrous capsule surrounding the joint, which helps hold the bones together, along with the ligaments (which join bone to bone) and tendons (which join muscle to bone)
  • The joint capsule is lined by the synovial membrane, which manufactures the synovial fluid
  • The synovial fluid is located within the joint cavity of a synovial joint and has three primary functions: Lubrication , nutrient distribution and shock absorption
