None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The spine is also designed to protect your spinal cord. The spinal cord is a column of nerves that connects your brain with the rest of your body, allowing you to control your movements. Without a spinal cord, you could not move any part of your body, and your organs could not function.

Detailed explanation-2: -You can’t live without a spine. Some conditions, such as SCI and spina bifida, can affect the spinal cord, leading to symptoms like a partial or complete loss of movement or sensation. However, many individuals with these conditions go on to lead active, fulfilling lives.

Detailed explanation-3: -When something disrupts nerve signals to muscles, you may experience paralysis-being unable to make voluntary movements. Common causes of paralysis include strokes, spinal cord injuries and nerve disorders like multiple sclerosis. Bell’s palsy causes temporary facial paralysis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Normally, messages are sent from the brain through the spinal cord to parts of the body, which leads to movement. When the spinal cord is damaged, the message from the brain cannot get through. The spinal nerves below the level of injury get signals, but they are not able to go up the spinal tracts to the brain.
