Solution
The correct option is D Diaphragm
Diaphragm is a dome shaped partition which separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. It has voluntary muscles but its regulation is involuntary.
Sternum is a flat bone present just below the skin in the middle of the front region of the chest. It is dagger shaped. It protects the internal organs in the thoracic cavity. It also provides surface for the attachment of muscles.
Mediastinum is the partition between the two lungs but is usually defined as the interval between two pleural sacs.
Lungs are also called as pulmones.
