Correct answer
Femur
The femur, the thighbone. High-energy collisions can fracture it. The sternum is in the chest and phalanges are in fingers and toes; they can also be injured through other mechanisms, so a general ranking must not be used to rule out injuries. A suspected crash fracture needs medical assistance: call 112 and avoid unnecessary movement.
