The correct Answer is:
To find the odd one out from the given options, we need to analyze each option based on the classification of bones in the human body. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option (a): Humerus, thigh, tibia and fibula, radius and ulna** - **Analysis**: - Humerus: Long bone of the arm. - Tibia and Fibula: Long bones of the leg (thigh). - Radius and Ulna: Long bones of the forearm. - **Conclusion**: All these bones are long bones and belong to the appendicular skeleton. Therefore, this option does not contain an odd one out. 2. **Option (b): Metacarpals and metatarsals, phalanges of fingers and toes** - **Analysis**: - Metacarpals: Bones of the hand. - Metatarsals: Bones of the foot. - Phalanges: Bones of the fingers and toes. - **Conclusion**: All these bones are part of the limbs and are categorized as long bones. Thus, this option also does not contain an odd one out. 3. **Option (c): Scapula of shoulder bone, sternum, cranial bones, vertebrae** - **Analysis**: - Scapula: Part of the appendicular skeleton. - Sternum: Part of the axial skeleton. - Cranial bones: Part of the axial skeleton. - Vertebrae: Part of the axial skeleton. - **Conclusion**: The scapula is the odd one out because it belongs to the appendicular skeleton, while the sternum, cranial bones, and vertebrae belong to the axial skeleton. 4. **Option (d): Carpals of wrist and tarsals of ankle** - **Analysis**: - Carpals: Short bones of the wrist. - Tarsals: Short bones of the ankle. - **Conclusion**: Both are short bones and belong to the same category. Therefore, this option does not contain an odd one out. ### Final Answer: The odd one out is **(c) Scapula of shoulder bone, sternum, cranial bones, vertebrae**. ---
