Solution

Statement 1 says the brain is protected by a vertebral column. The bony covering of the brain is called the cranium and the vertebral column protects the spinal cord. So, the first statement is false.

In statement 2, CSF is a fluid that acts as a shock absorber. So, this statement is true. So, we can say only statement 2 is true and option B is the correct choice.
