Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the anatomical location of the lower leg and differentiate between anterior (front) and posterior (back) aspects. The anterior aspect refers to the front side of the lower leg.

Step 2: Review the function and location of the Tibialis anterior muscle. It is located on the anterior aspect of the lower leg and is responsible for dorsiflexion (lifting the foot upward) and inversion of the foot.

Step 3: Examine the other muscles listed in the problem: Flexor hallucis longus, Gastrocnemius, and Soleus. These muscles are located on the posterior aspect of the lower leg and are involved in plantarflexion (pointing the foot downward).

Step 4: Compare the anatomical positions of the Tibialis anterior and the other muscles. The Tibialis anterior is the only muscle listed that is located on the anterior aspect of the lower leg.

Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is Tibialis anterior based on its anatomical location and function, as it matches the description provided in the problem.
