O glandthe adrenal
O glandthe thymusthe
O pineal bodythe
O thyroid

Answer 1

Answer:
Adrenal glands

Explanation:
In anatomy, Inferior means to be lower in position, therefore whatever gland is the lowest in the body would be the most inferior. The pituitary and pineal glands are located in the brain, and therefore are superior, or higher in position. The next most superior gland is the thyroid gland, which is located in the neck, then we have the thymus, which is located in your chest behind the sternum (breastbone), leaving us with the Adrenal glands, which are located above (or superior to) the kidneys, which are located the most inferior in your body out of all the listed glands.
