Explanation
The human rib cage consists of 12 pairs of ribs, totaling 24 ribs. Among these, the first 7 pairs are termed 'true ribs' because they attach directly to the sternum through their own individual costal cartilages. This means there are 14 true ribs in total (7 pairs x 2). Hence, the correct answer is 14 ribs.
