  1. At the front of the skull

  2. At the base of the skull

  3. On top of the head

Option C is incorrect because the top of the head is where the parietal bones are located. Option D is incorrect because the jaw is made up of the mandible bone. Overall, the occipital bone is located at the base of the skull, towards the back.
