Final answer:

The SC joint can be best visualized on the left side in an anterior oblique position.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is a) Left Side. An anterior oblique of the SC joint best demonstrates the joint on the left side. In radiographic imaging terms, a right anterior oblique (RAO) position or a left anterior oblique (LAO) position is used to best visualize the joint from the front or anterior side. The RAO or LAO position provides a better visualization of the left side of the SC joint.
