Explanation:

To solve this, we recall human anatomy: on the anterior (ventral) side, ribs (true ribs) connect to the sternum via costal cartilages. The pectoral girdle (scapula, clavicle) connects to the arm, clavicle is part of pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle is for lower body, and vertebrae are posterior (dorsal) rib attachments. So the correct answer is sternum.
