Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Superior refers to the top or upper side of an animal. In a four-legged animal, the dorsal side is the upper side, so C is the correct answer. Caudal refers to the tail end, ventral refers to the belly side, and cephalic refers to the head end, which do not relate to superior.
