The right answer is lumbar.

The vertebral column of humans is composed of several vertebra grouped according to their location. From the top there are the cervical vertebrae, the thoracic vertebrae, the lumbar vertebrae, and the welded vertebrae which are the secret and the coccyx.

The lumbar vertebrae, located in the middle of the spine are the widest and the most spaced between them.
