Solution

The correct option is B Patella
Sesamoid bone is a bone embedded within a tendon or a muscle. In humans, the patella is the largest Sesamoid bone in the body.
The patella also known as the kneecap, is a thick, circular-triangular bone which articulates with the femur and covers & protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint. Hence option B is correct.
