Solution

The correct option is B Vertebrae
Bones are hard structures which together with cartilage form the skeletal system.
Different types of bones make up different parts of the body. E.g., flat bones, small bones, long bones and irregular bones.
Irregular bones as the name suggests are irregular in shape. Vertebrae is made up of irregular bones.
33 vertebrae together forms the vertebral column, which can be felt when we put our hands at the back as bumps.
