Final answer:
Option (E), A transverse section divides the body into superior and inferior parts, and is the correct term when referring to separating the body into upper and lower portions.
Step-by-step explanation:
A transverse section is produced if the body is separated into superior and inferior portions. The term 'transverse plane' refers to a plane that divides the body or organ horizontally into upper and lower portions. It is also known as a horizontal plane and results in cross-sections.
This is in contrast to a coronal or frontal plane, which divides the body into anterior and posterior sections, and a sagittal plane, which divides the body into right and left sides. A midsagittal plane would divide the body into equal right and left halves, while a parasagittal plane would result in unequal divisions.
