Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by understanding the anatomical terms provided in the question. Each term refers to a specific region of the body. For example, 'Temporal' refers to the sides of the head near the temples, 'Orbital' refers to the eye socket region, and 'Frontal' refers to the forehead area.

Step 2: Focus on the term 'Occipital,' which is mentioned as the correct answer. The occipital region specifically refers to the back of the head, where the occipital bone is located.

Step 3: Recall that the occipital bone is part of the skull and forms the posterior base of the cranium. It is located at the lower back of the head, near the nape of the neck.

Step 4: Compare the occipital region with the other anatomical terms provided in the question. None of the other terms (Temporal, Orbital, Frontal) describe the back of the head, confirming that 'Occipital' is the correct term.

Step 5: To reinforce understanding, visualize or refer to an anatomical diagram of the skull. Locate the occipital bone at the back of the head to solidify the connection between the term 'Occipital' and its anatomical location.
