Question restatement: Which part of the skeleton consists of the shoulder girdle, bones of the arms, wrists, hands, pelvic girdle, and bones of the legs, ankles, and feet?

Option a: Axial Skeleton. This set includes the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum. It does not include the shoulder girdle, limbs, or pelvic girdle, which are part of the appendicular skeleton. So this option is incorrect for describing the given components.

Option b: Appendicular Skeleton. The appendicular skeleton comprises the shoulder girdles (clavicles and scapulae), the bones of the arms (humerus, radius, ulna), the wrists and hands (carpals, metacarpals, phalanges), the pelvis (pelvic girdle), and the bones of the legs, ankles, and feet (femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges). This matches exactly the components listed in the question, making it a correct description.

Option c: Vertebral Column. The vertebral column is a subset of the axial skeleton, consisting of individual vertebrae and intervertebral discs. It does not include girdles or limb bones, so this option does not describe the complete set asked for.

Option d: None of the above. Given that option b accurately describes the described components, this option is incorrect because there is at least one correct description among the choices.

Summary thought: The key distinction is that the axial skeleton houses the central axis of the body, while the appendicular skeleton covers the limbs and girdles mentioned in the question. The listed structures align with the appendicular skeleton, not the axial one, nor with the vertebral column, and certainly not with a claim that none of the above apply.
