Answer» The correct answer is (c) extension Best explanation: Flexion means the movement of bending while extension means the movement of straightening. When the body is flexed, it is bended, either towards (bones) or away (muscles) from the mid-line. When the body is extended, it gets straightened, i.e. it goes back to its original shape. |
