The correct answer is f) proximal.
Explanation: In anatomical terminology, the term ‘proximal’ refers to a position that is closer to the point of attachment of a limb to the body. In this case, the elbow is located closer to the shoulder (the root of the arm) compared to the wrist. Therefore, we describe the elbow as being proximal to the wrist, while the wrist is considered distal in relation to the elbow.
