Solution

The correct option is B spinal cord
Medulla oblongata leaves the brain as the spinal cord. The spinal cord is a long structure that runs through the canals present in the vertebrae of the vertebral column. Thus, like the brain is protected by skull/cranium, the spinal cord is protected by the vertebral column.
