A
humerus
B
radius
C
ulna
D
carpal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The radius or radial bone is one of the two large bones of the forearm, the other being the ulna. It extends from the lateral side of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist and runs parallel to the ulna.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ulna is located on the medial side of the forearm, and the radius is on the lateral side. These bones are attached to each other by an interosseous membrane. The ulna is the medial bone of the forearm. It runs parallel to the radius, which is the lateral bone of the forearm (Figure 2).

Detailed explanation-3: -The radius is one of the two bones that make up the forearm, the other being the ulna. It forms the radio-carpel joint at the wrist and the radio-ulnar joint at the elbow. It is in the lateral forearm when in the anatomical position. It is the smaller of the two bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -Where is the radius located? Your radius is one of two bones in your forearm. The other is your ulna. The radius is opposite your ulna, on the lateral (thumb) side of your forearm.
