Correct Answer

(D) Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum

Solution & Explanation

From the skull downward the vertebral column is differentiated into cervical (7) → thoracic (12) → lumbar (5) → sacral (1, fused) → coccygeal (1, fused) regions. So the correct head-to-toe order is cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum.
