Where is the occipital bone located?

  1. At the base of the skull

  2. In the lower spine

  3. At the top of the femur

  4. On the lateral side of the arm

The correct answer is: At the base of the skull

The occipital bone is located at the base of the skull, forming the back and base of the cranium. Option B, the lower spine, is incorrect as the occipital bone is part of the skull, not the spine. Option C, the top of the femur, is incorrect as the femur is a bone in the leg, not the skull. Option D, on the lateral side of the arm, is also incorrect as the occipital bone is not located in the arm.
