Answer:

The correct answer is A. A series of ligaments anchors the uterus, ovaries, and uterine tubes. They include all the following except the mesocolon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mesocolon is a peritoneal coated membrane that fixes the colon to the back wall of the abdomen. Like the mesentery, the mesocolon is the place of passage of vessels and nerves for the colon.

In particular, two mesocolons differ: the transverse mesocolone, which connects the transverse colon with the retroperitoneum, usually at the level of the pancreas; and the sigmoid mesocolon, that joins the sigmoid colon to the pelvic wall. Sometimes they can be found in bruises or other expanded areas.
