Definitely D) Hip. Ankle and elbow are limited.

No way, the ankle is not a ball-and-socket joint!

I’m torn between the hip and the knee, but I feel like the hip is the right answer based on what I studied.

I’m pretty confident it’s the hip, but I could see how someone might confuse it with the shoulder.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think the elbow is a hinge joint, not ball-and-socket.

I think the ball-and-socket joint is the hip, but I’m not entirely sure.
