Explanation:

When an ankle is sprained, it seeks a position of least stress and discomfort. The maximal loose - packed position allows for the least amount of tension on the ligaments and soft tissues. In this position, the joint surfaces are not as closely approximated as in the close - packed position, reducing pain and strain on the injured structures.

Answer:

c) Maximal loose - packed position
