It would be A. The elbow or wrist because the appendicular region is limbs such as arms,legs,hands,feet,etc..

Hope this helps

Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ The \ elbow \ or \ wrist}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The appendicular region of the body encompasses all the appendages, limbs, and extremities. Some examples include:

  • Wrist
  • Thigh
  • Foot
  • Ankle
  • Elbow
  • Arm
  • Fingers and toes

On the other hand, the axial region contains the central body parts, such as

  • Neck
  • Head
  • Chest
  • Abdomen/trunk

This question asks us to identify where Freida's appendicular injury. It cannot involve a body part in the axial region, so the head, neck, chest, and abdomen are not correct. Therefore, we can eliminate choices B (chest and head), C (abdomen), and D (neck), leaving A as the correct answer.
