Answer:

Option G, tibia

Explanation:

The tibia is the T-shaped long bone within the lower leg that is commonly called the "shinbone" or the "shins." It is the medial bone of the two found in the lower half of the legs, the other of which is the fibula. Not only does it form the shin; this bone is essentially the inferior region of the knee and its distal surfaces make up the inner ankle. The main function of the tibia is to serve as an attachment point to 11 different muscles as well as aid in the supporting of bodyweight.

Why Not Other Choices:

The clavicle is the collarbone. The carpals are the small bones of the wrist. The femur is the sole long bone of the upper leg. The patella is the seed-like bone most recognize at the kneecap. The vertebral column is the bones of the spine. The humerus is the sole long bone of the upper arm. Lastly, the tarsals are the small bones of the ankle and foot.
