Answer:

The correct answer will be-Humerus

Step-by-step explanation:

The humerus is one of the longest bone in the body in the upper arm sue to which it is analogous to the femur. The humerus is located between the shoulder and the elbow joint which connects to the ulna at the elbow joint.

It is the bone to which many muscles get associated like pectoralis major or deltoid which helps in the supporting and performing the function of the arm like physical exercise and lifting.

Thus, the humerus is the correct answer.
