This plane divides the body into superior & inferior portions
A
Oblique
B
Frontal
C
Transverse
D
Midsagittal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Axial Plane (Transverse Plane)-A horizontal plane; divides the body or any of its parts into upper and lower parts.

Detailed explanation-2: -The transverse plane, or the axial plane, divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) halves. Movements that occur in this plane involve rotation or horizontal movement, which include: Rotation: rotating the torso or a limb around its vertical axis (e.g., turning your head to the left or right)

Detailed explanation-3: -The third plane of motion bisects the body into top and bottom halves and is called the transverse plane (AKA the horizontal plane).

Detailed explanation-4: -Transverse plane lies horizontally and divides the body into superior and inferior parts (top/bottom). It is also known as the cross-sectional, axial or horizontal plane.

Detailed explanation-5: -The transverse plane (also known as the horizontal plane, axial plane and transaxial plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into superior and inferior sections. It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes.
