The correct answer is zygomatic bone.

The zygomatic bone in the human skull also known as malar bone or cheekbone refers to the paired bone that enunciates with the temporal bone, maxilla, the frontal bone, and the sphenoid bone.

It is located at the lateral and upper segment of the face and produces the prominence of the cheek, parts of the temporal and infratemporal fossa, and part of the lateral wall and floor of the orbit.
