Answer is dorsal side.

Explanation:

I hope you are asking about the series of C shaped cartilagenous rings present in the wall of trachea. These are present on ventral side, and prevents tracheal passage from collapsing.

The rings are incomplete towards dorsal side to allow smooth movement of food along oesophagus, as it runs along the dorsal side of trachea.
