Explanation of Solution

Justification for correct answer:

Option (c) is given as the front of the body or body part is referred as ventral. In biological anatomy, ventral signifies body part closer to the front side of the body. For example, the eyes are ventral to the brain. Hence, (c) is the correct option.

Option (b) is given as farther from the point of attachment is referred as ventral. Distal position signifies farther from the point of attachment while ventral signifies body part closer to the front side of the body. Hence, (b) is an incorrect option.
