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

Detailed explanation-1: -The transverse plane (axial or X-Z plane) divides the body into superior and inferior (head and tail) portions. It is typically a horizontal plane through the center of the body and is parallel to the ground.

Detailed explanation-2: -Axial Plane (Transverse Plane)-A horizontal plane; divides the body or any of its parts into upper and lower parts. Median plane-Sagittal plane through the midline of the body; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left halves.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The sagittal plane or lateral plane (longitudinal, anteroposterior) is a plane parallel to the sagittal suture. It divides the body into left and right.
