A blow to the cheek is most likely to break which superficial bone or bone part? (a) superciliary arches, (b) mastoid process, (c) zygomatic arch, (d) ramus of the mandible

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.
