Solution

The correct option is B Ilium, ischium and pubis
The hip joint is a synovial joint formed by the articulation of the rounded head of the femur and the cup-like acetabulum of the pelvis. The cup-like acetabulum forms at the union of three pelvic bones - the ilium, pubis, and ischium.
So, the correct option is C. (ilium, ischium and pubis)
