Solution

The correct option is B Lower jaw
  • The mandible or lower jaw, is the only movable part of the skull, forming the temporomandibular joint with the temporal bone.
  • The mandible is the largest, strongest and lowest bone in the human face. It forms the lower jaw and holds the lower teeth in place.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Lower jaw'.
