Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

The vertebral column, also known as the spine, has several important functions such as providing support to the head, protecting the spinal cord, and serving as a point of attachment for ribs. However, it does not protect all vital organs in the body. The vital organs, such as the heart and lungs, are protected by other structures in the body such as the rib cage and sternum.
