How many cervical vertebrae are there?

  1. 9

  2. 5

  3. 7

  4. 12

The correct answer is: 7

The cervical vertebrae are the seven small bones that make up the neck region of the spine. These bones are responsible for supporting the weight of the head and protecting the spinal cord. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the number of cervical vertebrae in the human spine. Option A is too high, option B is too low, and option D includes the total number of vertebrae in the entire spine, including the cervical vertebrae. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
