208
B
210
C
206
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are typically around 270 bones in human infants, which fuse to become 206 to 213 bones in the human adult. The reason for the variability in the number of bones is because some humans may have a varying number of ribs, vertebrae, and digits.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are 206 bones in the human skeleton. This doesn’t include teeth or small bones found within tendons called sesamoid bones.

Detailed explanation-3: -An adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones in total. At the time of birth, there are 270 bones which fuse with time to come to a total of 206 bones. The total bones of our body can be divided into axial skeleton (80) and appendicular skeleton (126).

Detailed explanation-4: -A baby’s body has about 300 bones at birth. These eventually fuse (grow together) to form the 206 bones that adults have. Some of a baby’s bones are made entirely of a special material called cartilage (say: KAR-tel-ij). Other bones in a baby are partly made of cartilage.
