Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
The human foot is a very complex and highly developed structure. The bones of the foot provide mechanical support for the soft tissues, helping the foot withstand the weight of the body.
The bones of the foot can be divided into three categories:
Tarsals – A set of seven irregularly shaped bones. They are situated proximally in the foot, in the ankle area.
Metatarsals – These bones connect the phalanges to the tarsals. There are five in number – one for each digit.
Phalanges – The bones of the toes. Each toe has three phalanges – a proximal, intermediate and distal (except the big toe, which only has two phalanges).
