Solution

The correct option is D Pectoral girdle or clavicles
The furcula also known as wishbone is a forked bone found in birds and some other animals and is formed by the fusion of the two clavicles. In birds, its main function is in the strengthening of the thoracic skeleton to withstand the rigors of flight. Hence, option B is correct.
