Solution
The correct option is A Calf
The gastrocnemius muscle is a muscle located on the back of the lower leg, being one of the two major muscles, that make up the calf. The definitive shape of the calf is the result of the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius, which are situated at the posterior, upper half of the lower leg. The gastrocnemius muscle crosses both the knee joint and the ankle joint, giving it a distinct function at each joint.
