Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The correct order of structures penetrated by a sharp object entering a synovial joint starts with the skin (4), followed by any tendons or muscles (1) that are superficial to the joint, then ligaments (2) that may be present around the joint, the fibrous capsule (3) that encloses the joint, and finally the synovial membrane (5) which lines the inner surface of the fibrous capsule.
