The knee joint seems only a simple articulation

The knee joint seems only a simple articulation: motions between femur and tibia are mainly confined to flexion and extension. Nevertheless, there is something unique in the contour and shape of the medial and lateral femoral condyles and their corresponding menisci. Below you find 6 hypotheses regarding the anatomy and arthrokinematics of the knee joint. Which of these hypotheses are correct? 

A. The medial condyle is more massive than his lateral counterpart;
B. The lateral condyle has a smaller posteroanterior diameter;
C. The lateral meniscus is smaller than the medial meniscus and has an "O"-formed shape;
D. The medial meniscus is interconnected with the popliteal muscle;
E. The popliteal muscle unlocks end range rotation of the knee joint when extending;
F. The lateral meniscus is more mobile than the medial meniscus and because of that it has a higher rupture prevalence.
