Answer:

The correct answer is option c, that is, zygomatic arch.

Explanation:

In anatomy, a section of the skull produced by the temporal bone’s zygomatic process and the zygomatic bone’s temporal process is known as the cheekbone or the zygomatic arch. Temporal bone refers to a bone, which protrudes frontward from the skull side, that is, over the opening of the ear, while the zygomatic bone is the lateral to the cheekbone.  

When a blow takes place to the cheek then the superficial bone or the part of the bone that breaks most likely is the zygomatic arch.
