The correct answer is C) Vertebrae.
The vertebrae are the bones that make up the spinal column, and they provide protection for the spinal cord. The spinal cord is a delicate and vital part of the central nervous system, and it is surrounded by the vertebrae, which form a canal called the spinal canal. The vertebrae act as a shield, protecting the spinal cord from injury and damage.
