The correct option is C Procoelous

$\text{Vertebrae of frogs}$

Vertebrae are bones located within the vertebral column.

The frogs possess 10 vertebrae and among them, the $2^{nd}to{7}^{th}$ vertebrae are named as typical vertebrae.

The vertebrae consist of a centrum (or body), 1 or 2 arches and other parts.

$\text{Procoelous}$

In the procoelous vertebrae, the centrum is concave in front & convex in back.

It is present in most reptiles and also in amphibians like frogs.
