Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the concept of paranasal sinuses. Paranasal sinuses are air-filled cavities located within certain bones of the skull. They are named after the bones in which they are found and include the maxillary, frontal, sphenoid, and ethmoid sinuses.

Step 2: Learn the location of the maxillary sinuses. The maxillary sinuses are the largest of the paranasal sinuses and are located within the maxilla, which is the upper jawbone.

Step 3: Compare the options provided in the question. The sphenoid bone contains the sphenoid sinuses, the frontal bone contains the frontal sinuses, and the ethmoid bone contains the ethmoid sinuses. None of these bones house the maxillary sinuses.

Step 4: Identify the correct answer based on anatomical knowledge. Since the maxillary sinuses are located within the maxilla, the correct answer is 'Maxilla.'

Step 5: Reinforce the concept by visualizing or referring to a diagram of the skull that shows the locations of the paranasal sinuses, including the maxillary sinuses within the maxilla.
