The answer is the second one (superior): the thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.

Explanation for each option:

  • Medial: This term means "toward the midline of the body." It does not describe the relative position of the thoracic cavity to the abdominopelvic cavity.
  • Superior: This term means "above" or "higher in position." The thoracic cavity is located above the abdominopelvic cavity, making this the correct answer.
  • Inferior: This term means "below" or "lower in position." The thoracic cavity is not below the abdominopelvic cavity, so this is incorrect.
  • Lateral: This term means "toward the side of the body." It does not describe the relative position of the thoracic cavity to the abdominopelvic cavity.

Summary: The thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.
