Answer A) Sartorius
Marked area is ANTERIOR SUPERIOR ILIAC SPINE
Anterior superior iliac spine
-
The anterior superior iliac spine refers to the anterior extremity of the iliac crest of the pelvis.
-
This is a key surface landmark, and easily palpated.

It provides attachment for the inguinal ligament, the sartorius muscle,and the tensor fasciae latae muscle.
A variety of structures lie close to the anterior superior iliac spine, including the subcostal nerve,the femoral artery (which passes between it and the pubic symphysis),and the iliohypogastric nerve.
