Answer 1

The correct option is A Long and curved bone

• The bones of the hand (forelimb) are humerus, radius and ulna, carpals (wrist bones – 8 in number), metacarpals (palm bones – 5 in number) and phalanges (digits – 14 in number),
  
• The ulna is a long and curved bone.
  
• Proximally, the ulna articulates with the humerus at the elbow joint. Distally, the ulna articulates with the radius, forming the distal radio-ulnar joint.
• So, the correct answer is 'Long and curved bone'.
