• A. Coccyx
• B. Ear ossicles
• C. Carpals
• D. Metacarpals

Answer 1

The correct option is A Coccyx

• The coccyx, commonly referred to as the tailbone, is the final segment of the vertebral column in all apes, and analogous structures in certain other mammals.
• Depending on an individual's development, the coccyx may consist of three to five different bones connected by fused or semi-fused joints and/or disc-like ligaments.
• The individual bones also fuse together to form a single coccyx throughout adulthood. Hence, Human skeleton altogether contains 206 bones. Some bones are fused in adults, an example of fused bones would be Coccyx.
So, the correct answer is 'Coccyx'.
