Solution

The correct option is A 206
The human skeleton is the internal framework of the body. It is composed of 270 to 300 bones at birth but this total decreases to 206 bones by adulthood after some bones have fused together. They include 80 bones in the axial skeleton and 126 bones in the appendicular skeleton.
So, the correct answer is '206'.
