Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Scapula

The correct answer is Scapula.

• The dorsal, triangular, and flat bone of the scapula has a slightly elevated ridge called the spine that projects as a flat and expanded known as the acromion.
• The glenoid cavity is present which articulates with the humerus to make the shoulder joint.
• The femur is the longest bone present in the thigh and the acetabulum is a cavity where the thigh bone gets articulated.
