Final answer:
The opposite of dorsiflexion is plantar flexion.
So the correct answer is Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
Dorsiflexion refers to the movement of lifting the front of the foot towards the anterior leg, while plantar flexion involves lifting the heel and pointing the toes downward.
The opposite of dorsiflexion is plantar flexion, which is the bending of the ankle where the heel is lifted, such as when standing on the toes. This movement is called plantar flexion because it involves the sole of the foot moving away from the leg, resembling the movement of a plantar flexor muscle.
