The correct option is B axis
Sternum is a part of the axial skeletal system. It is also called breast bone that is present in the ventral side of the body, in the middle of the chest. It has three parts i.e uppermost (manubrium), middle (body), tip (xiphoid process).
The C2 bone of the cervical vertebrae is called the axis.
