Solution

The correct option is A Carpals
The lower jaw of mammals consists of only one bone, the dentary whereas jaws of other vertebrates are composed of more than one bone. This bone joins the skull at the squamosal bone. This anterior bone of the lower jaw bears the teeth. Hence option A is correct.
