Hint: Biceps is the large muscle that lies on the front of the upper arm and it is situated between the elbow and upper arm. It is a two-headed muscle and its functions include flexing of the forearm and the shoulders.

Complete answer: The biceps brachii commonly known as the biceps(two-headed muscle of the arm) is a large muscle that lies between the shoulder and elbow on the front of the upper arm. It originates in two places: the scapula (shoulder blade) and the upper glenoid cavity. The tendon of the biceps muscle is joined to the inner profusion near the head of the radius (bone of the forearm) and one is attached to the bones of the shoulder. The function of the bicep muscle includes: bending the forearm towards the upper arm and thus useful in lifting and pulling movements, it also turns the palm upward or forward (supinates the forearm).
Also, The femur or thigh bone (the largest bone of the human thigh) is the proximal bone of the hindlimb. The ulna is a long bone of a forearm that runs parallel to the radius, it is larger than the radius
The scapula is the largest part present in the pectoral girdle.
So, the correct answer to the above question is option (A) i.e., Radius.

Note: Bicep muscles are located on the anterior position of the forearm having two points of origin. The two tendons of the muscle are attached to the head, the radius, and one is attached to the bones of the shoulder. The function of the biceps includes flexing the forearm.
