Solution

The correct option is A Dentary
Mandible or jawbone is a bone forming the skull with the cranium. It forms the lower jaw and holds the lower teeth in place. Mammals have a different jaw joint, composed only of the dentary, while in other vertebrates, lower jaw is composed of articular and quadrate. Hence, option A is correct.
