The correct option is C Shank
- The two major types of muscles that make up the calf (back portion of the lower leg) are gastrocnemius and soleus muscle.
- Along with the soleus muscle, the gastrocnemius forms half of the calf muscle. Its function is plantar flexing the foot at the ankle joint and flexing the leg at the knee joint.
