The answer is the second one (left upper quadrant): the stomach is located in the left upper quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity.

Explanation for each option:

  • Left lower quadrant: This area typically contains parts of the small intestine, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon. It is not where the stomach is located.
  • Left upper quadrant: This is the correct location of the stomach. The left upper quadrant contains the stomach, spleen, part of the pancreas, and parts of the large intestine.
  • Right upper quadrant: This area contains the liver, gallbladder, part of the pancreas, and parts of the small and large intestines. The stomach is not located here.
  • Right lower quadrant: This area typically contains the appendix, parts of the small intestine, and the ascending colon. The stomach is not located here.

Summary: The stomach is located in the left upper quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity.
