How many finger bones, known as phalanges, does a person have?

  1. 20

  2. 14

  3. 16

  4. 10

The correct answer is: 14

A person has a total of fourteen finger bones, known as phalanges. Option A, 20, is incorrect because that would be the total number of finger and toe bones combined (10 on each hand and foot). Option C, 16, is incorrect because that would be the number of phalanges in one hand only. Option D, 10, is incorrect because that would only account for the finger bones on one hand. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
