Correct Answer � D Explanation |

Ans. (D)
In vertex presentations, the relation of the occiput to the maternal pelvis determines the position. The position of the occiput can be detected by finding the posterior fontanel. As it is on the left lateral side of the mother and the sagittal suture is transverse, the position is LOT.
