Final answer:

The 'transcervical' ligament is not a recognized uterine ligament, unlike the broad ligament, round ligament, and cardinal ligament which all support the uterus in various ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the options listed, all of the following are uterine ligaments EXCEPT for the 'transcervical' ligament. The broad ligament is a large peritoneal fold that extends from the sides of the uterus to the pelvic wall, serving as one of the main supports for the uterus. The round ligament runs from the uterus to the labia majora, helping maintain the position of the uterus as well. The cardinal ligament, also often listed as a uterine ligament, supports the cervix and the uterus. However, the 'transcervical' is not recognized as a standard anatomical term for a ligament associated with the uterus.
