The answer is the third one (c): Patella.

Explanation for each option:

  • a Malleus: Incorrect. The malleus is one of the three ossicles in the middle ear.
  • b Incus: Incorrect. The incus is another one of the three ossicles in the middle ear.
  • c Patella: Correct. The patella, also known as the kneecap, is not an ossicle; it is a bone located in the knee.
  • d Stapes: Incorrect. The stapes is the third ossicle in the middle ear.

Summary: The patella is not one of the ossicles. The ossicles are the malleus, incus, and stapes, which are small bones in the middle ear. The patella is a bone in the knee.
