Solution

The correct option is D Ribs
  • Flat bones are made up of a layer of spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone. They have a flat shape, not rounded
  • The flat bones are the occipital, parietal, frontal, nasal, lacrimal, vomer, hip bone (coxal bone), sternum, ribs, and scapulae.
  • Hence ribs are flat bones.
  • So, the correct answer is'Ribs'.
