Solution

The correct option is D Pectoral girdle/clavicle
The furcula or wish bone is a forked bone found in birds and some dinosaurs, and is formed by the fusion of two clavicles. In birds it's primary function is in the strengthening of the thoracic skeleton to withstand the rigors of flight. So, the correct answer is 'Pectoral girdle/clavicle'.
