Explanation:
The assertion that there are two sets of bones for the skull, namely the cranium bones that enclose the brain and the facial bones, is true. The skull consists of 22 bones, which are categorized into cranial bones and facial bones.
The cranial bones include eight bones -- the frontal bone, two parietal bones, two temporal bones, the occipital bone, the sphenoid bone, and the ethmoid bone. These bones form the cranial cavity that encloses and protects the brain, as well as serving as attachment sites for head and neck muscles.
In adults, these bones are tightly fused with connective tissue, and the adjoining bones do not move. Moreover, the skull includes 14 facial bones which provide the structure for the face and have cavities for the eyes, nose, and mouth. The correct option is A.
