The bones that form the sides and top of the cranium, are the:

  1. Frontal Bones

  2. Temporal Bones

  3. Parietal Bones

  4. Occipital Bones

The correct answer is: Parietal Bones

The bones that form the sides and top of the cranium are the parietal bones. This is because the parietal bones are located on either side of the top of the head and also make up the majority of the skull's upper surface. The other options, frontal bones, temporal bones, and occipital bones, are all located in different areas of the cranium and make up different parts of the skull. The frontal bones form the forehead, the temporal bones are located on the sides and base of the skull, and the occipital bones make up the back and base of the skull. Therefore, these options are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the bones that form the sides and top of the cranium.
