Solution

The correct option is C Foramen of magnum
The foramen magnum is a large opening in the occipital bone of the human skull. It is one of the several oval or circular openings in the base of the skull (called as foramina). The spinal cord, an extension of the medulla, passes through the foramen magnum.
