Solution

The correct option is B Calcaneum
The calcaneus, also referred to as the calcaneum, is the largest tarsal bone and the major bone in the hindfoot.

The talus is the large bone in the ankle, which articulates with the tibia of the leg and the calcaneus and navicular bone of the foot.

The navicular is a boat-shaped bone located in the top inner side of the foot and is called as an extra bone or cartilage.

The cuneiform bones are three tarsal bones .
