Options
- AA-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
- BA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- CA-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
- DA-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
Correct answer
C. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
Step-by-step solution
The human skull has two occipital condyles, making its articulation dicondylic (A matches with III). In human beings, as in almost all mammals, the number of cervical vertebrae is seven (B matches with II). Each rib has two articulation surfaces on its dorsal end, hence it is called bicephalic (C matches with IV). The joint between adjacent vertebrae in the vertebral column is a cartilaginous joint, which permits limited movement (D matches with I). Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I.
