The joints which cause rotational movements are
Correct answer: B. Ball and Socket
- A. Hinge
- B. Ball and Socket
- C. Cartilage

A hinge joint like the elbow is restricted to one plane and permits no rotation at all. Sutures between the skull bones are immovable and cartilaginous joints allow only slight movement.
