Solution
The correct option is C Sartorius muscles The sartorius muscle is the longest superficial muscle in the interior compartment of the human body. It is a two joint muscle that moves both hip and knee joint. It forms the lateral boundary of the femoral triangle and covers the abductor canal. It flexes the hip and knees and helps in the lateral rotation and thigh abduction. These all are necessary for the crossed leg position. So, the correct option is C.
