The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the location of the olecranon process, which is a specific anatomical feature. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Humerus - Radius - Ulna - Tibia 3. **Analyzing the Bones**: - The **humerus** is the bone of the upper arm. - The **radius** and **ulna** are the two bones that make up the forearm. - The **tibia** is one of the bones in the lower leg. 4. **Locating the Olecranon Process**: - The olecranon process is found at the proximal end of the **ulna**. It forms the tip of the elbow and is the part of the ulna that can be felt at the back of the elbow. 5. **Function of the Olecranon Process**: - The olecranon process serves as the attachment site for the triceps muscle tendons. The contraction of the triceps muscle is involved in straightening the elbow. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the anatomical location and function, the correct answer to the question is that the olecranon process is found in the **ulna**. **Final Answer**: The olecranon process is found in the **ulna**. ---
