d. 14

Answer 1

Hint: We know that the human body is made of bones. A baby is born; the number of bones present in his or her body is 300. However, on growing the bones get interconnected to certain joints. Thus, the number of bones present in the human body at the stage of adulthood has decreased to 206. The face of the human body also has a certain number of bones.

Complete answer:
The facial bones are 14 in number. The face of a human consists of 14 bones. The expressions given by a human includes the movements of these bones. Every expression given by a human face involves the participation of a certain facial bone.

We already know that there are 14 bones in the face of the human being. However, the following are the names given to these bones.
- Number of inferior nasal concha is (2),
- Number of Lacrimal bones are (2),
- Number of Mandible is (1),
- Number of Maxilla is (2),
- Number of Nasal bones are (2),
- Number of Palatine bones are (2),
- Number of Vomer are (1),
The number of Zygomatic bones is (2).

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: In a human body, the 30 bones are present in the upper limbs of his or her hands. However, there are no parts in the human body consisting of 12 or 40 bones in number. All the above types of bone together complete the set of the facial bones. As mentioned earlier, these bones have greater importance. These bones help us to make an impression of us in front of other people.
