Answer 1

Ankle bone .... Meta tarsal

Answer 2

The fractured bone will be -

c) tarsal

Fracture refers to crack or breaking of bone. The carpals and meta carpals bones listed in question are the part of hand and thus they are incorrect option.

Tarsals and meta tarsals are the bones found in feet. Meta tarsals are the bones which connect tarsals with phalanges and hence are not part of ankle bone.

Tarsals make up ankle bone, where specifically talus is the ankle bone. Hence, this is the bone getting fractured in question.
