The axial skeleton is composed of the:

  1. arms, legs, and pelvis.

  2. skull, face, thorax, and vertebral column.

  3. lower and upper extremities and pelvis.

  4. pelvis, lower extremities, and thorax.

The correct answer is: arms, legs, and pelvis.

The axial skeleton is composed of the skull, face, thorax, and vertebral column. This includes the bones that form the central axis of the body, providing support and protection for the vital organs. The arms, legs, and pelvis are part of the appendicular skeleton, not the axial skeleton.
