Solution

The correct option is C 30
The bones of the limbs(forelimb and hindlimb) along with their girdles (pectoral and pelvic) constitute the appendicular skeleton.
The bones of the hind limb are femur (thigh bone – the longest bone), tibia and fibula, tarsals (ankle bones – 7 in number), metatarsals (5 in number) and phalanges (digits – 14 in number). Hence number of bones in the hind limb of human is 30.
So, the correct answer is '30'.
