Carpitis is?

Explanation:
Carpitis refers to inflammation of the carpus, the horse’s knee joint. When inflamed, the knee joint swells and can appear enlarged, often described as a “popped knee.” The other options point to inflammation of different joints (hock/tarsus in the hind limb, fetlock, or pastern), so they don’t describe carpitis.
