Solution

The correct option is B Clavicles
The forked bone present in some birds is called the wishbone or the furcula. The wishbone or furcula is formed by the fusion of two clavicles and are found in birds and some other animals. In birds, it serves to provide strengthening to the thoracic skeleton that helps to withstand the rigors of flight.
Thus, the correct answer is B.
