Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) 206.
· An adult human body contains 206 bones.
· These bones are distributed throughout the body and form the human skeleton, which provides structure, protection to internal organs, facilitates movement, and supports the muscles.
· At birth, a human has around 270 bones, but as a person grows, some of these bones fuse together, leading to a total of 206 bones in adulthood.
· The skeletal system is categorized into two parts: the axial skeleton (which includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage) and the appendicular skeleton (which includes the limbs and girdles).
· The longest bone in the human body is the femur or thigh bone.
