Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the anatomy of the skull. The human skull is composed of several bones, including the occipital, frontal, parietal, and temporal bones. Each bone has a specific location and function.

Step 2: Focus on the base of the skull. The base of the skull is the lower part of the cranium, which houses the brain and connects to the spinal column.

Step 3: Identify the occipital bone. The occipital bone is located at the posterior (back) and inferior (lower) part of the skull. It forms the base of the cranium and has a prominent protrusion called the external occipital protuberance.

Step 4: Compare the other options. The frontal bone is located at the front of the skull, forming the forehead. The parietal bones are located on the sides and roof of the skull. The temporal bones are situated on the sides of the skull near the ears. None of these protrude at the base of the skull.

Step 5: Conclude that the occipital bone is the correct answer, as it is the bone that protrudes at the base of the skull and forms the posterior part of the cranium.
