Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
All synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a joint cavity containing synovial fluid, which allows for free movement. This distinguishes them from other types of joints, such as fibrous or cartilaginous joints, which do not have a joint cavity and are either immovable or only slightly movable.
