Solution

The answer is C: Third.

Explanation:

The duodenum is divided into four segments: the first (superior), second (descending), third (horizontal), and fourth (ascending).
The first segment (A) is the superior part and does not extend transversely.
The second segment (B) is the descending part and runs vertically.
The third segment (C) is the horizontal part, which extends transversely from right to left.
The fourth segment (D) is the ascending part and does not extend transversely.

Therefore, the third segment of the duodenum is the one that extends transversely from right to left.
