Solution

The correct option is A Furcula
The furcula also known as wishbone is a forked bone found in the birds. It is V-shaped. It is also found in some other animals and is formed by the fusion of the two clavicles and single interclavicle. In birds, its main function is in the strengthening of the thoracic skeleton to withstand the rigors of flight. Hence, option A is correct.
