Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The body plane that divides the body into right and left sides is the
A
transverse
B
midsagittal
C
frontal
D
coronal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The midsagittal (median) plane is in the midline through the center of the body, and all other sagittal planes are parallel to it. The coronal plane (frontal or Y-X plane) divides the body into dorsal and ventral (back and front) portions. It also separates the anterior and posterior portions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The midsagittal plane or median plane divides the body into two parts. It vertically splits any object or organism into two relatively equal halves – left and right. In humans, each of the two bisected divisions includes half of the head, thorax, abdomen and genitals, one arm and one leg.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sagittal vs Midsagittal A sagittal plane is a hypothetical plane that is used to divide the body along a vertical axis. Midsagittal is a hypothetical plane that divides the body into two equal halves along the vertical axis, the right half and the left half. No symmetry involved in the sagittal plane.
