Answer: a
Explanation: A four-bar linkage, also called a four-bar, is the simplest movable closed
chain linkage. It consists of four bodies, called bars or links, connected in a loop by four
joints. Generally, the joints are configured so the links move in parallel planes, and the
assembly is called a planar four-bar linkage.
