Answer: C the cruciate and collateral

Step-by-step explanation:

- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) - The ligament, located in the center of the knee, that controls rotation and forward movement of the tibia (shin bone).

- Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) - The ligament, located in the center of the knee, that controls backward movement of the tibia (shin bone).

- Medial collateral ligament (MCL) - The ligament that gives stability to the inner knee.

- Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) - The ligament that gives stability to the outer knee.
