Solution
The answer is the last one (lateral): the mammary region is lateral to the sternal region.
Explanation for each option:
Superior: This means "above." The mammary region is not above the sternal region.
Inferior: This means "below." The mammary region is not below the sternal region.
Medial: This means "toward the midline of the body." The mammary region is not toward the midline compared to the sternal region.
