Solution

The correct option is D Acetabulum
The longest bone in the human body is the femur bone also called the thigh bone. It is located in the anatomical position just below the pelvic girdle in articulation with the acetabulum thereby forming the hip joint proximally and in articulation with the proximal parts of the tibia and fibula bones below the patella region, distally.
So, the correct answer is 'Acetabulum'.
