The answer is (B): Scapula.

Explanation for each option: (A) Talus (tarsal bone) - Incorrect. The talus is a bone in the ankle and does not articulate with the humerus. (B) Scapula - Correct. The scapula, or shoulder blade, articulates with the humerus at the glenoid cavity, forming the shoulder joint. (C) Sternum - Incorrect. The sternum is a bone in the chest and does not articulate with the humerus. (D) Scaphoid (carpal bone) - Incorrect. The scaphoid is a carpal bone in the wrist and does not articulate with the humerus. (E) Clavicle - Incorrect. The clavicle, or collarbone, articulates with the scapula and the sternum, but not directly with the humerus.

Summary: The bone that articulates with the humerus is the scapula.
