1 point
a lungs
b pericardium
c liver
d diaphragm
Brief Explanations
The coelom (body cavity) in humans is divided into the thoracic cavity (housing heart/lungs) and abdominal cavity (housing digestive organs) by a muscular sheet called the diaphragm. Lungs are organs in the thoracic cavity, pericardium is the sac around the heart, and liver is an abdominal organ—none of these divide the coelom.
