Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The humerus is a long bone, as it is longer than it is wide and features a shaft with distinct ends (the head and the condyle). Short bones are roughly equal in length and width, while flat bones tend to be thin and curved. Irregular bones are typically shaped in a way that does not fit into any other category, and sesamoid bones are small, rounded bones embedded in tendons.
