Explanation

The correct option is D because it correctly matches the common names of the bones with their anatomical terms. I. Breast bone matches with Sternum D. The sternum is the long flat bone located in the center of the chest. II. Collar bone matches with Clavicle A. The clavicle is the horizontal bone that connects the breastplate to the shoulder blade. III. Knee cap matches with Patella B. The patella is the thick circular triangular bone which articulates with the femur and covers the knee joint. IV. Shoulder blade matches with Scapula C. The scapula is the bone that connects the humerus with the clavicle. Therefore the correct sequence is I-D, II-A, III-B, IV-C.
