Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the bones listed in each option and categorize them based on their anatomical location in the body.
Understand that the upper limb consists of bones that are part of the arm and forearm.
Recall that the humerus is the bone of the upper arm, while the radius and ulna are the bones of the forearm.
Recognize that the scapula and clavicle are part of the shoulder girdle, which connects the upper limb to the trunk, but are not considered part of the upper limb itself.
Conclude that the humerus, radius, and ulna are the bones that specifically make up the upper limb, distinguishing them from bones of the shoulder girdle or other body regions.
