B
Subsacro subpubiano
C
subpubic subcoccygeal
D
obstetric conjugate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It measures 10.5 cm on average; it is the lesser anteroposterior diameter. The diagonal conjugate: Measured between the sacral promontory and the lower edge of the pubic symphysis, measuring an average of 12.5.

Detailed explanation-2: -The interspinous diameter of the midpelvis was measured on the axial radiograph and this was defined as the distance between the ischial spines (Fig. 2).

Detailed explanation-3: -Although pelvises can be classified according to diameter, in obstetric practice they are often divided into 4 main types: gynecoid, android, anthropoid, and platypelloid, based mainly on the shape of the pelvic inlet [5].

Detailed explanation-4: -Different pelvic shapes affect childbirth: Gynecoid pelvises typically lead to smoother vaginal delivery. Android pelvises are narrow, which can make it harder for the baby to move through the birth canal. People AFAB with android pelvises may require a Cesarean section (C-section).
