Single correct option

The number of bones in the skeleton of a normal adult human being is
  1. A. 300
  2. B. 206
  3. C. 176
  4. D. 250
Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) 206

An adult skeleton has 206 bones. A newborn baby has about 300, as many of them fuse together while growing up, which accounts for the trap of 300. The numbers 176 and 250 are not the count for any stage of normal human growth.
