Solution
The correct option is D Mandible
The lower jaw is made up of a single bone called mandible.
The mandible is the longest and strongest bone in the face. It forms the lower jaw and holds the teeth in place.
Movement of the lower jaw opens and closes the mouth and also allows for the chewing of food. The lower set of teeth in the mouth is rooted in the lower jaw.
The mandible is the only movable skull bone which helps in chewing.
