Explanation

Ans. is ‘a’ i.e., Coronal
The coronal CT view provides the best visualization of the ostiomeatal complex (key drainage pathways of sinuses).
– Coronal images show the relationship of polyps and mucosal thickening with adjacent structures like the nasal cavity, maxillary, ethmoid, and frontal sinuses.
– This view helps evaluate extent, obstruction, and planning for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
