Answer:

The correct option is : e. Rib 1 and rib 2 and clavicle

Step-by-step explanation:

Sternum is the long flat bone, connected to the ribs through cartilage and form the front of the rib cage. It is present in the central part of the chest.

The manubrium is a quadrangular-shaped, superior portion of the sternum. It joins or articulates with the body of the sternum, the clavicles and both the first and the second pair of ribs.
