The orbit is composed of several bones, including the ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal, lacrimal, maxilla, zygomatic, and palatine. These bones form a bony structure that encloses and protects the eyeball, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. Option A and C do not include all of the bones that make up the orbit. Option D includes all of the correct bones but also includes the temporal bone, which is not a part of the orbit.
