Solution

The correct option is D Foramen magnum
  • A large oval opening (foramen) which is present in the occipital bone of the skull is called as foramen magnum.
  • The spinal cord which is an extension of the medulla passes through the foramen magnum as it exits the cranial cavity.
  • Hence spinal cord passes through the foramen magnum.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Formen magnum'.
