Answer:

The most freely movable joint in the body is glenohumeral joint.

Step-by-step explanation:

The glenohumeral joint, also called the shoulder joint, is a mobile joint. It is formed by the union of the head of the humerus with the glenoid cavity of the scapula, an enarthrosis where a sphere fits into a concave surface, allowing a wide range of movement:

  • Flexion.
  • Extension.
  • Abduction.
  • Adduction.
  • Internal rotation.
  • External rotation.

The glenohumeral joint is the most mobile joint in the human body, allowing the upper limb to perform almost any activity.

The other options are not correct, because:

A and D. The tibio-femoral and elbow joints perform predominantly flexion and extension.

B. The coxal is the pelvic bone, whose joints with the sacrum and between right and left coxal are not mobile.
