Solution
The correct option is A Number of cervical vertebrae
The giraffe,s extremely long neck can measure up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in length giving the animal its height. The long neck results from a disproportionate lengthening of the cervical vertebrae not from the addition or number of vertebrae. Each cervical vertebra is measured 28 cm (11 in) long and makes up nearly 52–54% of the length of the giraffe's vertebral column.
