Fibrous capsule surrounding synovial joints may be thickened at some places to form:
Correct answer: B. Ligaments.
- A. Synovial membrane.
- B. Ligaments.
- C. Muscles.
- D. Tendon
Explanation
The fibrous capsule of a synovial joint may become thickened into strong bands called ligaments, which reinforce and stabilise the joint. A tendon attaches muscle to bone, so option d is the likely mistake caused by confusing joint stabilisers with muscle attachments.
