The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Each pectoral girdle consists of two bones, clavicle and scapula. The scapula (shoulder blade) consists of a sharp ridge, the spine and a triangular body. The end of the spine projects as a flattened and expanded process called acromion. This process articulates with the clavicle. At the lateral end of the superior of the scapula is projection of the anterior surface called the coracoid process, to which the tendons of the muscles attach. At the point where the superior and lateral borders of the scapula meet there is the lateral angle which presents a shallow articular surface termed as glenoid cavity into which the head of the humer is articulated.

Locomotion and Movement

Locomotion

The movement of a creature from one place to another is known as locomotion. During the process, there is the action of appendages such as wings, limbs, and flagella. In some animals, like fish, whales, and sharks, locomotion upshots from a wave-like series of muscle contractions. Locomotion helps an organism in finding their food, avoid harsh weather conditions, escape from their predators, etc.

Some examples of locomotion are walking, running, swimming, etc. Movement, on the other hand, refers to any type of motion that need not be localized.

Movement is generally described as a state of changing the position from rest to motion or vice-versa. Movement can be both voluntary movement and involuntary movement. Movement helps an organism perform essential functions, such as pumping blood to the different parts of the body, etc.
