A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The elbow is proximal to the wrist. This is because the elbow is closer to a point of attachment while the wrist is further making it distal.

Detailed explanation-2: -The forearm connects the elbow with the wrist and can be divided into two compartments – the anterior or flexor compartment and the posterior or extensor compartment. Most of the muscles in the forearm run nearly parallel to one another – originating near the elbow and extending to the tips of the fingers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hand is distal to the elbow. The point of attachment of both the hand and elbow is the shoulder.
