Solution

The correct option is B Frontal
  • The bones of the cranium include the frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
      • The frontal bone helps in supporting and protecting the delicate nervous tissue of the brain. It gives shape to the skull and supports several muscles of the head.
        • The frontal bone makes contact with several other bones in the skull. The anterior part of the frontal bone articulates with the nasal bone of the face. Hence it is common to face and cranium.
          • So, the correct answer is 'Frontal'.
