    Option (A).

    Explanation:

    Saddle joint is a type of synovial joint and also known as sellar joint. These joints are present in thumb, shoulder and inner ear.

    The bone has one part concave inward and other part is convex outward. This bone can articulate with thumb's metacarpal and trapezium of the carpal bone. Saddle joints show abduction and adduction movements.

    Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
