The answer is the second one (or B): Abduction.

Explanation for each option:

  • Flexion: This involves decreasing the angle between two body parts. For example, bending the elbow or knee.
  • Abduction: This involves moving a limb or other part away from the midline of the body. For example, lifting the arm or leg sideways away from the body.
  • Adduction: This involves moving a limb or other part toward the midline of the body. For example, bringing the arm or leg back towards the body.
  • Extension: This involves increasing the angle between two body parts. For example, straightening the elbow or knee.

Summary: Abduction is the angular motion that involves moving the arm away from the midline of the body.
