Solution

The correct option is D 2, 3, 3,3, 3
The number of phalanges in animals is often expressed as a "phalangeal formula" that indicates the numbers of phalanges in digits. Most land mammals including humans have a 2-3-3-3-3 formula in both the hands and feet which means that the thumb has two phalanges and the other fingers each have three. So the correct answer is '2,3,3,3,3'.
