The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct statements about the human skeletal system, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: There are a total of 12 ribs in the human skeletal system.** - This statement is **incorrect**.

Therefore, this statement does not accurately represent the number of ribs. 2. **Statement II: Each limb is made up of 30 bones.** - This statement is **correct**. Each limb (arm or leg) consists of **30 bones**. Since humans have **4 limbs**, this contributes to a total of **120 limb bones** in the body. 3. **Statement III: The axial skeleton consists of 80 bones.** - This statement is **correct**. The axial skeleton, which includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage, indeed consists of **80 bones**. 4. **Statement IV: The wrist bones are 8 in number.** - This statement is **correct**. The human wrist (carpal bones) is made up of **8 bones**. ### Conclusion: - The correct statements are **II, III, and IV**.
