The answer is the first one: superior.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Superior: In anatomical terms, "superior" means above or higher in position. The hip is located above the knee when the body is in the anatomical position, making this the correct answer.

  2. Both superior and cranial: While "superior" is correct, "cranial" typically refers to a direction towards the head. Although the hip is closer to the head than the knee, "cranial" is not commonly used to describe the position of the hip relative to the knee.

  3. Cranial: As mentioned, "cranial" refers to a direction towards the head. While the hip is closer to the head than the knee, "cranial" alone is not the most precise term for this specific relationship.

  4. Caudal: "Caudal" means towards the tail or lower part of the body. This is incorrect because the hip is above the knee, not below it.

  5. Inferior: "Inferior" means below or lower in position. This is incorrect because the hip is above the knee.

  6. Both superior and caudal: This is incorrect because "caudal" contradicts "superior." The hip is not caudal to the knee.

In summary, the hip is superior to the knee in the anatomical position.
