The non-matching pair is:

Option 4) Clavicle and Glenoid cavity

The clavicle is indeed part of the appendicular skeleton, specifically the pectoral girdle, and the glenoid cavity is part of the scapula, also belonging to the appendicular skeleton. Therefore, this pair is correctly matched.

Option 1) Humerus and ulna as part of the appendicular skeleton is also a correct match.

Option 2) Malleus and stapes as ear ossicles is a correct match. Ear ossicles are indeed part of the axial skeleton.

Option 3) Sternum and ribs as part of the axial skeleton is also a correct match.
