Explanation:

Question 6

Metacarpals are the bones that form the palms of the hands. Metatarsals are bones in the feet, and malleous (malleus) is a bone in the ear. So the correct option is 1) metacarpals.

Osteomalacia is the condition of abnormal bone softening in adults. Osteosclerosis is abnormal hardening of bones, and Paget's disease involves abnormal bone remodeling (not softening). So the correct option is 1) osteomalacia.

Answer:

1. metacarpals
