Question

which arch does not contact the ground unless pronated? a) medial longitudinal arch b) lateral longitudinal arch c) transverse arch d) anterior longitudinal arch

Explanation:

The transverse arch is located across the metatarsal bones and cuneiforms. It does not contact the ground in a normal standing position. However, when the foot is pronated (rolled inward), the transverse arch may come into contact with the ground. The medial longitudinal arch is the main arch on the inner side of the foot that usually contacts the ground. The lateral longitudinal arch is on the outer side and also typically contacts the ground. There is no "anterior longitudinal arch" as a standard named arch in the foot anatomy in the context of this question.

Answer:

C. Transverse arch
