check grammar before check meaning or die
check grammar
"its" is wrong. "their" is correct
"the hyoid bone of which" is correct. "of which the hyoid bone" is wrong
"who" is wrong, "which" is correct
IMO B

Also, it's common to use "it" as pronoun for animals. so which can be used to refer to them as well.
