The answer is the second one: olecranon.

Explanation for each option:

  • Popliteal: This term refers to the area behind the knee, not the elbow.
  • Olecranon: This is the correct term for the posterior elbow area. The olecranon is the bony prominence of the elbow, on the upper end of the ulna.
  • Antecubital: This term refers to the anterior (front) region of the elbow, not the posterior.
  • Antebrachial: This term refers to the forearm region, not specifically the elbow.

In summary, the posterior elbow area is referred to as the olecranon.
