Question

a sensation in the lips.
a sensation in the right leg.
a muscle twitch in the lips.

both sensations and muscle twitches in the right leg.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The postcentral gyrus is the primary somatosensory area. Sensory information from the right side of the body projects to the left postcentral gyrus (contralateral representation). The superior region of the postcentral gyrus is associated with sensations from the lower - body parts like the leg. Since it is a sensory gyrus (not a motor gyrus), it would produce a sensation (not a muscle twitch).

Answer:

a sensation in the right leg.
