Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The thenar muscles are located in the palm of the hand and are involved in the movement of the thumb. They are not extraocular muscles. The levator palpebrae superioris is involved in raising the upper eyelid, the rectus muscle, inferior is one of the six extraocular muscles responsible for movement of the eye, and the superior tarsus is a component of the upper eyelid that provides structure and support.
