  • A Clavicle ✔ ✖
  • B Skull ✔ ✖
  • C Sternum ✔ ✖
  • D Ribs ✔ ✖
Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

The axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton are the two parts of the skeletal system in the human body. The axial skeleton includes the bones along the central axis of the body, such as the skull, sternum, vertebral column, and ribs. The clavicle, also known as the collarbone, is not part of the axial skeleton but rather a part of the appendicular skeleton. The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the arms, legs, pelvis, and shoulder girdle. Therefore, option A, the clavicle, is the bone that is not part of the axial skeleton.
