The bone near the ear that is connected to the lower jaw is the temporal bone.

Answer: C 
 The mandible is the lower jaw bone that is connected to the temporal bone. The maxilla is the upper jaw bone. The zygomatic bone is cheekbone. The frontal, lacrimal, and parietal bones are all located in the skull but are not directly connected to the mandible. The occipital bone is located at the back of the skull.
