A Correct answer
Explanation

Adults have 206 bones after bones fuse together during growth. Babies are born with around 270-300 bones (commonly cited as 300), many of which fuse through childhood. For example, the skull starts as multiple separate plates that join together, and the sacrum and coccyx fuse from several vertebrae into single bones.
