As we have learnt:

Spinal Cord: Location 

  • The spinal cord is a continuation of the brainstem. 
  • It lies in the neural canal of the vertebral column.
  • It extends from the foramen magnum at the base of the skull to the L1/L2 vertebra where it terminates as the conus medullaris (medullary cone). 
  • A thin thread called filum terminale extends from the tip of the conus medullaris all the way to the 1st coccygeal vertebra (Co1) and anchors the spinal cord in place. 

The spinal cord extends from the foramen magnum at the base of the skull to the L1/L2 vertebra where it terminates as the conus medullaris (medullary cone). Hence, the correct answer is option a.
