C

D
Nasal
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the classification of facial bones. Facial bones are those that form the structure of the face and include the maxilla, zygomatic, nasal, and others.
Review the list of bones provided in the problem: Maxilla, Sphenoid, Zygomatic, and Nasal.
Identify which of these bones are typically classified as facial bones. The maxilla, zygomatic, and nasal bones are all part of the facial skeleton.
Consider the sphenoid bone. The sphenoid is a complex bone located at the base of the skull, contributing to the cranial structure rather than the facial structure.
Conclude that the sphenoid bone is not considered a facial bone, as it is part of the cranial bones, which form the skull and protect the brain.
