Okay, so for rheumatoid arthritis, the key point is that it primarily affects the synovial membrane, leading to synovitis. I think the correct answer is B: synovial membrane. It’s essential to provide sources to back this up, so I’ll look for some reliable evidence quickly. Let's get that information together to ensure I have solid references for this answer!
