a short bone
b long bone
c irregular bone
d flat bone

Explanation:

The zygomatic bone (cheekbone) is classified as a flat bone. Flat bones are typically thin, flat, and somewhat curved. They provide protection (e.g., skull bones protect the brain) and serve as attachment sites for muscles. Short bones (e.g., carpals in the wrist) are cube - shaped. Long bones (e.g., femur) are longer than they are wide. Irregular bones (e.g., vertebrae) have complex shapes that don't fit into the other categories.

Answer:

D. flat bone
