Answer 1

The correct answer is the extensor digitorum longus and fibularis tertius.
The pretibial muscles include the anterior tibialis, extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, and peroneus tertius. As a group they are active during the swing phase and the heel-strike to foot-flat phase of gait. Fibularis is often considered as part of the extensor digitorum longus muscle.
