eversion
B
inversion
C
adduction
D
abduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The term that refers to the turning of the sole of the food medially (towards the midline of the body) is called foot inversion. Normally, the foot can perform inversion up to about 30 degrees.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inversion is the action of turning the sole of the foot inward, towards the opposite foot. Eversion is the movement of turning the sole of the foot outward, away from the midline.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inversion is a movement at the ankle and foot that is similar to supination. The sole of the foot moves to face the midline. However, while supination occurs by rotation of the radius, the leg bones do not move relative to each other. Rather, inversion takes place primarily through the transverse tarsal joint.

Detailed explanation-4: -Inversion is the movement of the foot so that the sole faces in a medial direction. Eversion is the opposite movement of the foot so that the sole faces in a lateral direction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Inversion of the Foot During inversion, the bottom of the foot (sole) turns so that it faces toward the body’s midline, in a medial orientation. Inversion starts with the word “in, ” so that’s the dead giveaway that the sole is pointing inwardly (medially).
