Answer»

The correct option is (d) Hinge Joint

Easy explanation: Condyle stands for a ROUNDED articular surface on the extremity of bone where it forms a joint with another bone. This allows limited movements like EXTENSION and flexion. Since the movements are limited and possible in only ONE direction, i.e. uniaxial, it is ALSO called a hinge joint.
