Understand the function of each bone listed in the options: Ischium, Tibia, Femur, and Scapula.
The ischium is part of the pelvis and forms the lower and back part of the hip bone. It is one of the bones that make up the pelvis and is involved in supporting body weight when sitting.
The tibia is a bone in the lower leg, primarily involved in weight-bearing when standing and walking, not sitting.
The femur is the thigh bone, the longest bone in the body, and supports weight when standing and walking, but not specifically when sitting.
The scapula, or shoulder blade, is part of the shoulder girdle and does not play a role in supporting body weight when sitting.
