Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lordosis is the accentuated lumbar curvature that can occur during pregnancy due to the increasing bulkiness of the anterior abdomen and the resulting change in the woman's center of gravity. Scoliosis and kyphosis refer to abnormalities of the spinal curvature, while hunchback is a less specific term for a rounded or hunched posture. Thus, C) lordosis is the best choice for this question.
