Possible Answers:

Synovial
Cartilaginous

Synarthrosis
Correct answer:
Synovial
Explanation:
The majority of joints of the human body are synovial joints. These joints are diarthrotic and include a synovial joint capsule that allows for greater freedom of movement. Examples include the fingers and the elbows, the knees, the temporomandibular joint, and the hips.
Fibrous and cartilagenous joints, all of which are either synarthrotic or amphiarthrotic, are relatively less common.
