A
The sole of the foot (plantar surface)
B
The anterior leg between the knee and the ankle
C
The thigh between the hip and the knee

Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand that anatomical terminology divides the lower limb into specific regions based on location and surface orientation.
Step 2: Recall that the 'crural region' specifically refers to the part of the lower limb between the knee and the ankle.
Step 3: Recognize that the crural region is located on the anterior (front) aspect of the leg, not the thigh or foot.
Step 4: Differentiate the crural region from other regions such as the plantar surface (sole of the foot), the thigh (hip to knee), and the calcaneal region (posterior heel).
Step 5: Conclude that the crural region corresponds to the anterior leg between the knee and the ankle.
