The correct answer is b) distal.
In anatomical terminology, ‘distal’ is used to describe a position that is farther from the point of attachment or origin of a limb or structure. For instance, in the context of the human arm, the fingers are distal to the elbow. This term contrasts with ‘proximal’, which refers to a structure being closer to the point of attachment. Understanding these terms is essential for accurately describing the location of body parts in relation to each other.
