Question

posterior to the ear there is a long, slender, pointed process. what is it called?
a zygomatic process
b mandibular fossa
c styloid process
d mastoid process

Explanation:

The styloid process is a long, slender, pointed process located posterior to the ear. The zygomatic process is related to the zygomatic bone and not posterior to the ear. The mandibular fossa is a depression for the mandible and not the described process. The mastoid process is posterior - but is not slender and pointed like the styloid process.

Answer:

C. Styloid process
