The answer is the second one (or B): sphenoid; pituitary.

Explanation for each option:

  1. sphenoid; thymus: Incorrect. The sella turcica is indeed part of the sphenoid bone, but it does not house the thymus gland. The thymus is located in the chest, behind the sternum.
  2. sphenoid; pituitary: Correct. The sella turcica is a saddle-shaped depression in the sphenoid bone that houses the pituitary gland.
  3. ethmoid; pituitary: Incorrect. The ethmoid bone is a different bone located in the skull, but it does not contain the sella turcica. The pituitary gland is housed in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone.
  4. ethmoid; thymus: Incorrect. This option is incorrect for both parts. The ethmoid bone does not house the sella turcica, and the thymus gland is not located in the skull.

Summary: The sella turcica is part of the sphenoid bone and houses the pituitary gland.
