Solution

The correct option is C Mandible
Single mandible supports lower jaw, extending from chin to mandibular fossa of the temporal bone. It is the largest, strongest facial bone; horseshoe-shaped horizontal bone with two perpendicular rami; contains tooth sockets and coronoid, condylar, alveolar processes. It forms lower jaw, part of temporomandibular joint; and is the site of attachment for muscles.
