Verified step by step guidance

Begin by identifying the location of the carpal bones. The carpal bones are a group of eight small bones located in the wrist area, forming the proximal part of the hand.

Understand the anatomy of the forearm. The forearm consists of two bones: the radius and the ulna. These bones articulate with the carpal bones to form the wrist joint.

Recognize the role of the radius in the wrist joint. The radius is the bone on the thumb side of the forearm and directly articulates with the carpal bones, allowing for wrist movement.

Consider the other options provided: Tibia, Humerus, and Femur. The tibia is a bone in the lower leg, the humerus is the upper arm bone, and the femur is the thigh bone. None of these bones are involved in the articulation with the carpal bones.

Conclude that the radius is the correct answer, as it is the only bone among the options that articulates with the carpal bones to form the wrist joint.
