Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(d) Tibia. Hint: Both the arms and leg of bone consist of sixty bones, thirty in arms from upper arms to finger and thirty in legs from thigh to toe. Both the Femur and Humerus are the longest bone, one which lies in the upper arm whereas one lies in the thigh.

Detailed explanation-2: -The humerus and the femur are corresponding bones of the arms and legs, respectively. While their parts are similar in general, their structure has been adapted to differing functions. The head of the humerus is almost hemispherical, while that of the femur forms about two-thirds of a sphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -Expert-Verified Answer (c) Femur is not an arm bone in the human skeleton. The human skeleton has 206 bones that are responsible for the structural integration of the body. The arm bones are the humerus, ulna and radius. The femur, also known as the thigh bone, is the bone found in the leg.

Detailed explanation-4: -femur, also called thighbone, upper bone of the leg or hind leg. The head forms a ball-and-socket joint with the hip (at the acetabulum), being held in place by a ligament (ligamentum teres femoris) within the socket and by strong surrounding ligaments.

Detailed explanation-5: -The main bones of the arm are the humerus, the radius, and the ulna.
