Correct answer is label B. on the purple shaded area which is inside the ventral horn and dorsal.

Spinal cord is termed as tubular or long thin structure which is made of nervous tissue. It is being extended to the lumbar region which is found in the brainstem from the medulla oblongata.

This is enclosed in the central canal which contains cerebrospinal fluid of the spinal cord. If we combine spinal cord and the brain we come up with Central Nervous System.

Between the second and first lumbar vertebrae is where spinal cord extends and it is where it ends.

The major function of spinal cord is nerve signal transmission from motor cortex to body.
