c deltoid tuberosity
d radial tuberosity
e soleus
The supraspinatus muscle is part of the rotator cuff. Its origin is the supraspinous fossa of the scapula, and it inserts into the greater tubercle of the humerus. Option A (medial condyle) is related to other muscles, C (deltoid tuberosity) is for the deltoid muscle, D (radial tuberosity) is for the biceps brachii, and E (soleus) is a calf muscle. So the correct insertion site is the greater tubercle of the humerus.
