Solution

The correct option is B Pectoral girdle
Wishbone (furcula) is formed by the fusion of two clavicles (collarbones) in the midline. Wishbone (furcula) and coracoids and shoulder blades together make the pectoral girdle. Three paired bones namely the ilia, ischia, and pubes together make the pelvic girdle; option C is incorrect. Wishbone is present in the thoracic cavity
So, the correct answer is 'Pectoral girdle'
