The human body typically contains 206 bones. This number can vary slightly from person to person due to the presence of extra bones called supernumerary bones, which can arise from genetic differences or anatomical variations.
The number 206 is the standard count for an adult skeleton, which includes a variety of bones such as the skull, spine, ribs, and limbs. In infants, the number of bones is higher, around 270, because many of their bones have not yet fused together. As a person grows, some of these bones fuse, leading to the 206 bones typically found in adulthood.
So, the answer to the question is b) 206.
