The correct answer is Ilium, ischium, pubis. These three bones fuse together to form the coxal bone, also known as the hip bone. The ilium is the largest and uppermost part of the coxal bone, while the ischium is the lower and posterior part, and the pubis is the anterior part. The fusion of these three bones creates a strong and stable structure that supports the weight of the upper body and provides attachment points for muscles and ligaments.Rate this question:
