Solution
The correct option is D Rib cage
The arrangement of ribs attached to the vertebral column and sternum in
the thorax of vertebrates is called the rib cage. It mainly serves as a
protective structure for the heart and lungs. The ribs move in order to adjust
the lungs when they increase in size during the process of inhalation. The
absence of rib cage would result in a collapse of the lungs as there will be no
other bony structure to support them.So, the correct answer is 'Rib cage'.
