Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomical position: In human anatomy, the standard position is standing upright, facing forward, with arms at the sides and palms facing forward. This helps in identifying the relative positions of body parts.

Identify the location of each bone: The humerus is located in the upper arm, the tibia is in the lower leg, the femur is in the thigh, and the coccyx is at the base of the vertebral column.

Determine the meaning of 'inferior': In anatomical terms, 'inferior' refers to a position lower on the body, closer to the feet.

Compare the positions of the bones: The humerus is in the upper body, the femur and tibia are in the lower limbs, and the coccyx is at the very base of the spine, near the pelvis.

Conclude which bone is most inferior: Based on their anatomical positions, the coccyx is the most inferior bone among the options provided, as it is located at the lowest point in the body compared to the other bones listed.
