D

Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by understanding the anatomical terms provided in the question. Each term refers to a specific region of the body. For example, 'Buccal' refers to the cheek area, 'Occipital' refers to the back of the head, 'Cervical' refers to the neck region, and 'Mental' refers to the chin area.
Step 2: Focus on the description in the question: 'the region at the front of the neck, just below the chin.' This description narrows down the options to terms related to the neck and chin.
Step 3: Eliminate terms that do not match the description. 'Buccal' and 'Occipital' can be ruled out because they refer to the cheek and back of the head, respectively, which are not relevant to the front of the neck.
Step 4: Compare the remaining terms, 'Cervical' and 'Mental.' 'Mental' specifically refers to the chin area, while 'Cervical' refers to the neck region. The question specifies the area 'just below the chin,' which aligns with the cervical region.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct anatomical term for the region at the front of the neck, just below the chin, is 'Cervical,' based on the anatomical definitions and the description provided in the question.
