C) is incorrect because synovial fluid is contained within the synovial joint capsule, and while it does receive nutrients and has waste products removed by the bloodstream, there is not a "wide exchange" directly between the bloodstream and the synovial fluid. The exchange of nutrients and waste occurs through the synovial membrane, which controls the movement of substances, rather than a direct, wide exchange with the blood.
