Solution

The correct option is C rib cage
  • The cage-like structure present in the chest is called rib cage. It is made up of 24 ribs and 1 flat ventral bone called sternum.
  • Sternum or chest bone connects to the ribs via cartilage and forms the front of the rib cage. It helps to protect the heart, lungs and major blood vessels from physical injury.
  • The ribs, in the back, are attached to the vertebral column.
