Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Harrington rods are made of stainless steel or titanium and are used in surgical procedures to correct and stabilize spinal curvatures, such as scoliosis. The rod is surgically attached to the spine along with hooks or screws, and it helps to straighten the spine and prevent further curvature progression.
