Solution

The correct option is A Radius, ulna
The biceps, also known as biceps brachii lies on the front of the upper arm between the shoulder and the elbow. The biceps brachii has two heads, or origins. Both heads originate on the scapula. The long head attaches to the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, which is just above the space where the humerus, or upper arm, enters the shoulder. The short head attaches to the coracoid process of the scapula. Both heads converge into one muscle, that runs the length of the humerus. The biceps brachii crosses the inside of the elbow and attaches at the radial tuberosity, which is a feature on the radius - one of the two bones (Ulna is other bone) in- the lower arm. In this way it attaches humerus with the radius and ulna.
So, the correct option is 'Radius, ulna'.
