Option (A).

Explanation:

The zygomatic arch is also known as cheek bones. The cheek bones are formed by the temporal's bone zygomatic process. The zygomatic arch also explains the evolutionary relationship of the organism.

The flat cheek bones of the patient can be demonstrated by submentrovertex (SMV) projection. The arch can be demonstrated by the patient's head rotation to the 15 degree towards the side being examined.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
