Answer» Correct option is (c) SUPERIOR & INFERIOR is used for humans while Cranial & Caudal is used for animals For explanation: Cranial and Superior both mean towards the brain or towards the head. HOWEVER, Caudal means towards the tail while Inferior both mean towards the legs. This DISTINCTION of terminology exists because animals have tails. While both the terminologies can be applied in CASE of humans (as they have a tail bone, i.e. caudal bone) but for animals, it is usually Cranial and Caudal only.
