Solution

The correct option is A Glenoid cavity
The glenoid cavity is a part of the shoulder girdle or pectoral girdle. It is a shallow pyriform, articular surface, which is located on the lateral angle of the scapula. The sternum, commonly known as the breastbone, is a long, narrow flat bone that serves as the keystone of the rib cage and stabilizes the thoracic skeleton. The ilium is the uppermost and largest bone of the pelvis and appears in most vertebrates including mammals and birds, but not bony fish. The acetabulum is the socket of the hipbone, into which the head of the femur fits. Thus, option A is correct.
