Answer 1

The correct option is D Ileum, ischium and pubis

The pelvic girdle consists of paired hip bones each is made up of three bones which are ilium, ischium and pubis. These three bones unite in early adulthood at a triangular suture in the acetabulum and form the cup-shaped socket that forms the hip joint with the head of the femur (thigh bone). So, the correct answer is 'Ileum, ischium and pubis'.
