B. V-shaped bone by the fusion of both clavicles and single interclavicular.

Furcula, commonly known as the wishbone, is a structure found in birds formed by the fusion of the two clavicles (collarbones) at their median or midline. It serves as an important part of the bird's skeletal system, providing support for the flight muscles and aiding in the bird's flight dynamics.
