Question

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "cranial" means toward the head, not the tail.
• Option b: "lateral" means toward the side, not related to the tail.
• Option c: "medial" means toward the midline, not the tail.
• Option d: "caudal" is the medical term that means toward the tail (or the inferior end in human anatomy, related to the tail - like structure or the lower part).

Answer:

d. caudal
