Answer: "a synovial joint because it is highly moveable, allows for flexibility, has ligaments for stability, and has cartilage for protection of the articulating bones."

Reason: The knee is a synovial (modified hinge) joint — it has a synovial cavity, articular cartilage on bone ends, menisci (cartilage) for shock absorption, ligaments for stability, and a large range of motion.
