Inflammation of a joint?

Explanation:
Arthritis is the term for inflammation of a joint. It describes the swelling, warmth, and pain that come with joint inflammation. The term arthralgia means joint pain but does not inherently indicate inflammation, which is why it isn’t the best fit here. The other options refer to a surgical procedure (removal of the appendix) and an imaging test of the aorta, not joint inflammation.
