{'humerus': [0, 1, 1, 0], 'bones': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'human body': [40, 2, 44, 29], 'sternum': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'pericardium': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'tibia': [1, 0, 1, 0]}

Option 1: The humerus is a long bone located in the upper arm. It connects the shoulder to the elbow and is one of the major bones in the human body.

Option 2: The pericardium is not a bone. It is a double-layered sac that surrounds the heart and helps protect it.

Option 3: The sternum is a flat bone located in the middle of the chest. It connects to the rib bones and forms the front of the ribcage.

Option 4: The tibia is one of the two bones in the lower leg. It is larger and stronger than the fibula and plays a crucial role in weight-bearing and walking.

The correct answer is option 2 - pericardium. The pericardium is a membrane that surrounds the heart, not a bone.
