The answer is the third one: Movement of the thigh.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Movement of the leg: This option is incorrect. Muscles that attach to the pelvic girdle and the femur primarily influence the movement of the thigh, not the lower leg. The leg, in anatomical terms, refers to the area between the knee and the ankle, and its movement is generally controlled by muscles that cross the knee joint.

  2. Movement of the foot: This option is incorrect. Movement of the foot is controlled by muscles that are located in the lower leg and attach to the bones of the foot. Muscles that attach to the pelvic girdle and femur do not directly affect foot movement.

  3. Movement of the thigh: This option is correct. Muscles with attachment points on the pelvic girdle and the femur are responsible for moving the thigh. These muscles can perform actions such as flexion, extension, abduction, and rotation of the thigh at the hip joint.

In summary, muscles with attachment points on the pelvic girdle and the femur are involved in the movement of the thigh.
