The answer is the second one: mandible; temporal bone.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Mandible; zygomatic bone: Incorrect. The zygomatic bone, also known as the cheekbone, does not form the jaw joint.
  2. Mandible; temporal bone: Correct. The jaw joint, also known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), is the articulation between the mandible (lower jaw) and the temporal bone of the skull.
  3. Mandible; sphenoid bone: Incorrect. The sphenoid bone is a complex bone located at the base of the skull, but it does not form the jaw joint.
  4. Mandible; maxilla: Incorrect. The maxilla is the upper jaw bone, and it does not form the jaw joint with the mandible.

Summary: The jaw joint is the articulation of the mandible and the temporal bone.
