Solution
The correct option is A Rib cage
The vertebral column, also known as the backbone or spine, is a bony skeletal structure found in vertebrates. Skull is present in head. The rib cage is formed by the vertebral column, ribs, and sternum and encloses the heart and lungs. In humans, the rib cage, also known as the thoracic cage, is a bony and cartilaginous structure which surrounds the thoracic cavity and supports the pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle).
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
