Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: A. The knee is proximal to the ankle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The superior portion of the ankle joint forms from the inferior articular surface of the tibia and the superior margin of the talus. Together, these three borders form the ankle mortise. The talus articulates inferiorly with the calcaneus and anteriorly with the navicular.
Detailed explanation-3: -The knee is (superior or inferior) to the ankle.
Detailed explanation-4: -Or, similarly, the femur is proximal to the knee, which is proximal to the ankle, which is proximal to the toes. Superior and inferior: These terms reference the body’s vertical axis, and a body part higher than another or above it is said to be superior to it; conversely, the other body part is inferior to the first.
