Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Actually acoelous means without a concavity on either of its ends. It can be amphiplatyon with both the ends flat, or amphidicondylar with both the ends convex. Other types of vertebrae (= centra) are procoelous (anterior concavity), opisthocoelous (posterior concavity), amphicoelous (both sides concave) and heterocoelous (saddle shaped or concavoconvex).
