Ankle joint is formed by the articulation of

Correct answer: B. Distal end of fibula and tarsal bones

  • A. Distal end of tibia and carpal bones
  • B. Distal end of fibula and tarsal bones
  • C. Proximal end of tibia and carpal bones
  • D. Proximal end of fibula and tarsal bones

Explanation

The ankle joint, also known as the talocrural joint, is formed by the articulation of the distal ends of the tibia and fibula with the tarsal bones, specifically the talus. This allows for the complex movements required for walking and running. Option B is correct because it references the distal end of the fibula and tarsal bones, which accurately describes the anatomical structure of the ankle joint. The other options incorrectly refer to carpal bones, which are part of the wrist, or the proximal ends of the bones, which are not involved in the ankle joint.
