What are the vertebrae that make up the tail called?

Coccygeal
Lumbar
Sacral
Thoracic

The correct answer is: Coccygeal

The vertebrae that make up the tail are called coccygeal vertebrae. The term "coccygeal" specifically refers to the tail region of the spinal column. In contrast, lumbar, sacral, and thoracic vertebrae refer to different regions of the spine: lumbar vertebrae are located in the lower back, sacral vertebrae are situated between the lumbar vertebrae and the coccygeal vertebrae, and thoracic vertebrae are in the chest region.
