Using the elbow as a point of reference, the hand is more
A
proximal
B
medial
C
lateral
D
distal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The hand is distal to the elbow. The point of attachment of both the hand and elbow is the shoulder. Compared to the elbow, the hand is farther away from the point of attachment, and so we say that the hand is distal to the elbow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Distal refers to the structure further from the point of attachment. For this reason, the fingers would be the most distal because they are furthest form the point of attachment.
