Solution

The correct option is A

Skull


The brain is present in a structure called skull. It is like a box of bones. This structure has immovable joints which protect the brain from any kind of damage.

The ribs partially enclose and protect the chest cavity containing vital organs - the heart and the lungs.

The backbone is a group of bones that work together to protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord runs from the brain to the base of your spine.
