Solution

The correct option is B Vertebrae
  • The bones of the backbone are known as vertebrae. The back is composed of twenty-four individual bones called vertebrae that are stacked one on top of the other to make up your backbone or spinal column.
  • The 24 separate vertebrae are interspaced with cartilage and then additionally, the sacrum and coccyx are present.
So, the correct answer is 'Vertebrae'.
