Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The lateral malleolus is located on the lateral aspect of the ankle, so it would only be visible in the views that show that side of the ankle (posterior, lateral, and anterior). In the medial view, the lateral malleolus would be obscured by the medial structures of the ankle.
