Step 2: Review the anatomical terms provided in the options: Orbital (pertaining to the eye socket), Frontal (pertaining to the forehead), Temporal (pertaining to the sides of the head near the temples), and Occipital (pertaining to the back of the head).
Step 3: Focus on the term 'Occipital,' which is specifically associated with the posterior region of the skull, known as the occipital region.
