The carpal bones articulate with the metacarpal bone I to form the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb. The proximal ends of metacarpals II-V articulate with the distal row of carpal bones, while the distal ends articulate with the proximal phalanges to form the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joints. The other choices (B, C, D, E) refer to joints in the fingers, not the hand itself.
