• E. Pubis, femur, tibia, ilium and sacrum

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Pubis, femur, tibia, ilium and sacrum

In vertebrates, the pubic bone is the ventral and anterior of the three principal bones composing either half of the pelvis. The femur or thigh bone is the most proximal (closest to the center of the body) bone of the leg. The tibia also known as the shinbone or shank bone, is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates. The ilium is the largest of the three innominate bones of the pelvis. It is a large, flattened, cup-shaped bone having a large crest anteriorly. The sacrum is a wedge-shaped bony structure that is located at the base of the lumbar vertebrae and is connected to the pelvis.
