Adenoid tonsils, also known as pharyngeal tonsils, are located in the nasopharynx. The nasopharynx is the upper part of the pharynx that lies behind the nasal cavity and above the oropharynx and laryngopharynx. The adenoid tonsils are part of the lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx and play a role in immune function. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
