The correct option is A Patella
Patella is also known as the kneecap. It is a thick, circular-triangular bone, which articulates with the femur and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint.
In humans, the patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the body. Hence, option A is correct answer.
