The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks which bone is found in the shank. The shank refers to the lower leg region, specifically the area between the knee and the ankle. 2. **Understand the Options**: The options provided are: - Radioaulna - Tibia - Humerus - Femur 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Radioaulna**: This is not a single bone but refers to two bones in the forearm (radius and ulna). Therefore, it is not correct. - **Tibia**: This is one of the two main bones in the lower leg (shank). It is larger and supports most of the weight. - **Humerus**: This is the bone of the upper arm, so it is not related to the shank. - **Femur**: This is the thigh bone, which is above the shank and does not belong to the lower leg. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Tibia**, as it is the primary bone found in the shank area of the leg. ### Final Answer: The bone known to be in the shank is **Tibia**. ---
