Explanation:

The costal margins are anatomical structures related to the rib - cage. They refer to the borders of the ribs. In veterinary and human anatomy, when making incisions in the abdominal region as described, the costal margins are important landmarks. The other options (striations between abdominal muscle layers, borders of the diaphragm, striations between the linea alba) do not correctly define costal margins.

Answer:

borders of the ribs.
