Pelvic
B
Dorsal
C
Ventral
D
Abdominal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The dorsal cavity is a continuous cavity located on the dorsal side of the body. It houses the organs of the upper central nervous system, including the brain and the spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the posterior (dorsal) cavity, the cranial cavity houses the brain, and the spinal cavity (or vertebral cavity) encloses the spinal cord. Just as the brain and spinal cord make up a continuous, uninterrupted structure, the cranial and spinal cavities that house them are also continuous.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dorsal refers to the anatomical orientation towards the posterior or back portion of the body. In humans, for example, the scapula (shoulder blades) would be located on the dorsal side of the body. Therefore, the dorsal cavity is the region located on the posterior or back side of the human body.
