A) extension of the vertebral column.
B) lateral flexion of the trunk.
C) flexion of the head.
D) flexion of the vertebral column.
E) abduction of the hip.

Erector Spinal

A group of muscles running along the spine that help keep the spine erect and perform rotational movements.

Unilateral Contraction

Unilateral Contraction refers to the tensing of muscles on only one side of the body, often used in targeted exercises or movements.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Lateral flexion of the trunk occurs when the muscles of the erector spinae group contract unilaterally. This means that if the muscles on one side of the spine contract, the trunk will bend towards that side.
