Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Arrow C is pointing to the semimembranosus muscle. This is because the semimembranosus muscle is a posterior muscle located in the medial compartment of the thigh, which is where arrow C is pointing. The other arrows are not pointing to the semimembranosus muscle. Arrow A is pointing to the vastus medialis muscle, arrow B is pointing to the adductor magnus muscle, and arrow D is pointing to the lateral collateral ligament.
