Solution

The correct option is B Axial skeleton
The upright posture of humans is maintained by the axial skeleton, which transmits the weight from the head, the trunk, and the upper extremities down to the lower extremities at the hip joints. A human is able to survive with just the axial portion of their skeleton.
