Solution

The correct option is B V-shaped bone by fusion of both clavicles and single interclavicle
The furcula also known as wishbone is a forked bone which is V-shaped found in birds and some other animals and is formed by the fusion of the two clavicles and single interclavicle. In birds, its main function is in the strengthening of the thoracic skeleton to withstand the rigors of flight.
Hence, option B is correct.
