Solution

The correct option is C Vertebral-arterial-canals
There are 7 cervical vertebrae. All cervical vertebrae have apertures in their transverse processes, known as Foramina transversalis, which form vertebro-arterial-canals on either side for vertebral artery to pass through to supply brain and spinal cord.
