That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
An armbar is not a shoulder lock because it primarily targets the elbow joint rather than the shoulder joint. In an armbar, the attacker controls the opponent's arm and applies pressure by hyperextending or hyperrotating the elbow joint, aiming to force a submission or cause injury. In contrast, shoulder locks such as the Americana, Kimura, and Omoplata specifically target the shoulder joint, applying pressure to manipulate and potentially dislocate or hyperextend the shoulder. Therefore, the armbar is the only option listed that does not directly target the shoulder joint.
