Explanation:

Inflammatory arthritis is characterized by inflammation in the synovial membrane. Synovial hypertrophy occurs due to this chronic inflammation. Ligament laxity is not a typical hallmark. Osteophyte formation is more related to degenerative - type arthritis. Cartilage degradation is also more common in degenerative rather than primarily inflammatory processes.

Answer:

C. Synovial hypertrophy
