The AP oblique foot projection with accurate positioning allows visualization of the joint spaces surrounding the cuboid (option 3) and the second through fifth intermetatarsal joints (option 1), but not necessarily the navicular-cuneiform joint (option 2) or the tarsometatarsal joint (option 4). Therefore, the correct answer is A, since it includes options 1 and 3 only.
