The correct answer is B. The surgical procedure that the doctor will perform to treat Elisa's herniated intervertebral disk is laminectomy.

Explanation:

Laminectomy is a surgical method on the spine. The vertebral arch with the spinous process is removed from one or more vertebrae to make room for spinal cord or intervertebral disc surgery or to relieve excessive pressure, for example due to a tumor in the spinal canal.  

Since this operation can lead to signs of instability in the area of the spine, especially luxations, the intervention is usually carried out in connection with a spinal fusion.
