Solution

The correct option is D Clavicle
  • Each pectoral girdle is formed of two halves. Each half of pectoral girdle consists of a clavicle and a scapula.
  • The clavicle is the only long bone in the body that lies horizontally.
  • Each clavicle is a long slender bone with two curvatures. This bone is commonly called the collarbone.
  • Hence collar bone is known as the clavicle.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Clavicle'.
