Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The coelom is a body cavity found in many animals, including humans. Organs that are located in the coelom include the heart, lungs, and liver, which are all found in choice C. The brain and spinal cord are located in the skull and vertebral column respectively, while the kidneys are located outside of the coelom in the retroperitoneal space. Salivary glands are found in the head and neck, and reproductive organs can be found in multiple locations depending on the organism. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.
