The human lower limb (leg) follows a specific proximal to distal arrangement of skeletal elements. Starting from the hip joint and moving downwards to the foot, the bones are arranged in a specific order.
The sequence is as follows: 1. Femur (Thigh bone) - The longest bone, articulating with the hip. 2. Patella (Knee cap) - A sesamoid bone located at the knee joint. 3. Tibia (Shin bone) - The larger bone of the lower leg. 4. Tarsals (Ankle bones) - The group of bones forming the ankle and proximal foot.
Comparing the sequence (Femur -> Patella -> Tibia -> Tarsal) with the given options, we find that option (D) matches this anatomical order perfectly.
Final Answer: D
