The answer is the last one (D): plantar flexion.

Explanation for each option:

  • Rotation: This refers to the movement of a bone around its longitudinal axis. It is not specific to the movement of the foot and toes relative to the shin.
  • Dorsiflexion: This is the movement that decreases the angle between the dorsum (top) of the foot and the shin, bringing the foot and toes closer to the shin. This is the opposite of what the question describes.
  • Hyperextension: This refers to the excessive extension of a joint beyond its normal range of motion. It is not specific to the movement of the foot and toes relative to the shin.
  • Plantar flexion: This is the movement that increases the angle between the sole of the foot and the back of the leg, bringing the foot and toes farther from the shin. This matches the description given in the question.

Summary: The movement that brings the foot and toes farther from the shin is plantar flexion of the ankle joint.
