AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Pelvic Girdle**: The pelvic girdle is a bony structure located in the lower part of the trunk, just below the tailbone (coccyx). It consists of several bones that form a ring-like structure. 2. **Components of the Pelvic Girdle**: The pelvic girdle is primarily made up of the pelvic bones (hip bones) and the pelvic axis. The main bones that comprise the pelvic girdle are the ilium, ischium, and pubis. 3. **Articulation of the Pelvic Girdle**: The pelvic girdle articulates with the sacrum. The sacrum is a triangular bone located at the base of the spine, and it connects the spine to the pelvis. 4. **Identifying Incorrect Options**: - The atlas is part of the cervical vertebrae and does not articulate with the pelvic girdle. - The coccyx, or tailbone, is located below the pelvic girdle and does not articulate with it. - The "x" mentioned in the question is unclear but is also part of the vertebral column and does not connect to the pelvic girdle. 5. **Conclusion**: The only correct answer to the question "The pelvic girdle articulates to" is the sacrum. **Final Answer**: The pelvic girdle articulates to the sacrum. ---
