The term "rotation" is defined as:

  1. Touching an opposite finger with the thumb

  2. Turning the joint

  3. Turning the joint inward

  4. Turning the joint outward

The correct answer is: Touching an opposite finger with the thumb

Rotation refers to the movement of a joint, where the bones or body part involved move in a circular motion. Option A is correct because when you touch your opposite fingers with your thumb, you are rotating your finger joints. The other options, B, C, and D, describe specific directions of rotation (i.e., inward or outward), while option A is a neutral description of the action itself. Therefore, they are incorrect and too specific to fully encompass the definition of rotation.
