The correct option is A Proximal end of ulna The radius and the ulna are the two bones present in the forearm. The proximal end of the ulna which forms the tip of the elbow is called the Olecranon process. This process is the site of attachment of the tricep muscle tendons. Its contraction is involved in elbow straightening. It also forms a portion of the joint surface of the elbow. Thus the correct answer is option A.
