Solution

The correct option is C Intervertebral disc
Nucleus pulposus is the inner core of the vertebral disc. This core is composed of a jelly-like material that consists of mainly water, as well as a loose network of collagen fibres. This elastic inner structure allows the vertebral disc to withstand forces of compression and torsion. So, the correct answer is 'Intervertebral disc'.
