The object that is correctly matched with a type of joint that performs a similar movement is:

**A doorknob, which is similar to a pivot joint.**

In this case, the rotational movement of turning a doorknob resembles the movement at a pivot joint, where one bone rotates around another.

The other options involve misalignments with joint types and their respective movements. For example, a swivel chair operates more like a pivot joint than a hinge joint, and a shower head does not function like a hinge joint.
