Explanation:

Pinned support:

  • A pinned support allows rotational movement but resists both horizontal and vertical forces. It provides resistance to translation in both the horizontal and vertical directions, but it allows the structure to rotate at the pin.

  • This is the key feature that makes a pinned support the correct answer — it allows only rotational movement and resists horizontal and vertical forces.

Additional InformationRoller support:

  • Allows vertical movement and rotation but resists vertical forces. It does not resist horizontal forces.

Fixed support:

  • Resists all types of movement (translation and rotation), so it doesn't match the description in the question.

  • Does not resist any forces or movements, so it's not the correct answer.
