Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The head of the ulna is the most distal part, as it articulates with the radius and forms the distal radioulnar joint. The olecranon and coronoid processes are both proximal projections of the ulna, while the radial notch and trochlear notch are indentations that form parts of the elbow joint.
