Which anatomy accepts the coronoid process with the arm in flexion?

olecranon fossa
coronoid fossa
capitulum
radial fossa

coronoid fossa

Rationale: The coronoid process is located on the proximal ulna. Between the coronoid process and the olecranon process exists the trochlear notch which pivots around the trochlea on the distal humerus. With flexion of the arm, the coronoid process will sit within the coronoid fossa which is superior to the trochlea on the anterior distal humerus.
