Explanation

Ans :A-Congenital dislocation of hip
The condition shown in the x-ray above represents the congenital dislocation of the hip.
Congenital hip dislocation is when the formation of the hip joint is abnormal. The ball at the top of the thigh bone which is known as the femoral head is not stable within the socket (which is also known as the acetabulum). This abnormality may cause the ligaments of the hip to be loose or stretched.
