The correct answer is:

E. Skull and spine

Explanation:
The axial skeleton forms the central framework of the body and consists of:

Skull – Protects the brain and supports the face.

Vertebral column (spine) – Provides structural support and protects the spinal cord.

Ribs – Protect the thoracic cavity and vital organs like the heart and lungs.

Sternum (bosombone) – Connects with the ribs for added protection.

Why not the other options?
A (Fore and hind limbs) → These are part of the appendicular skeleton, not the axial skeleton.

B (Limbs and limb girdles) → Limb girdles (pectoral and pelvic girdles) belong to the appendicular skeleton.

C (Ribs and sternum) → While ribs and sternum are part of the axial skeleton, this option is incomplete because it excludes the skull and vertebral column.

D (Skull and limbs) → Limbs belong to the appendicular skeleton, making this option incorrect.

Thus, the correct answer is E: Skull and spine ✅.
