The correct option is D Sesamoid bone
Patella is the small bone in the knee joint between the femur and tibia. It is a sesamoid bone developed in the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle. A sesamoid bone is a small round bone that is embedded within a tendon. Its main function is to reinforce and decrease stress on that tendon.
