The movable sections of the spine, in order from top to bottom are:
A
Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar
B
Thoracic, Lumbar, Cervical
C
Lumbar, Cervical Thoracic
D
Cervical, Lumbar, Thoracic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cervical (neck): The top part of the spine has seven vertebrae (C1 to C7). Thoracic (middle back): The chest or thoracic part of the spine has 12 vertebrae (T1 to T12). Lumbar (lower back): Five vertebrae (L1 to L5) make up the lower part of the spine. More items •07-Dec-2020

Detailed explanation-2: -The three movements in the spine are flexion, extension, rotation and lateral flexion. These movements occur as a combination of rotation and translation in the sagittal, coronal and horizontal plane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most flexible part is the cervical spine (neck area). The bones that make up the spine also protect the spinal cord, which runs through the spinal canal.

Detailed explanation-4: -The spine is composed of 33 bones, called vertebrae, divided into five sections: the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine sections, and the sacrum and coccyx bones. The cervical section of the spine is made up of the top seven vertebrae in the spine, C1 to C7, and is connected to the base of the skull.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cervical Spine (Neck) There are seven cervical vertebrae which start with C1 and end with C7. Thoracic Spine (Mid Back) The twelve thoracic vertebrae, T1 to T12, are connected to your ribs. Lumbar Spine (Low Back) The five lumbar vertebrae, L1 to L5, are the most massive ones. Sacrum. Coccyx. 10-Jul-2019
