Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf Lateral}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's briefly define each anatomical position.

Superficial: near the surface

Deep: farther from the surface

Anterior: front

Superior: above

Inferior: below

Distal: farther from point of attachment

Lateral: away from midline, to the side

Proximal: closer to point of attachment

Medial: close to midline

Posterior: back

The midline is the middle of the body. If you are farther away from it, then you are near the side of the body. Therefore the best answer choice is lateral.
