The answer is the third one: presence of a joint cavity.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Presence of cartilage: While cartilage is present in synovial joints, it is not unique to them. Cartilage is also found in other types of joints, such as cartilaginous joints.

  2. Presence of connective tissue: Connective tissue is a broad category that includes many types of tissues found throughout the body, including in all types of joints. Therefore, it is not a distinguishing feature of synovial joints.

  3. Presence of a joint cavity: This is the correct answer. Synovial joints are unique in having a joint cavity, which is a space between the articulating bones filled with synovial fluid. This feature allows for a greater range of motion compared to other joint types.

  4. Presence of collagen fibers: Collagen fibers are a component of many tissues, including cartilage and connective tissues, and are not exclusive to synovial joints.

In summary, the presence of a joint cavity is the key feature that distinguishes synovial joints from other types of joints.
