Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomical division of the abdomen: The abdomen is divided into nine regions using two vertical and two horizontal lines. These regions help in identifying the location of organs and structures.

Identify the umbilical region: The umbilical region is located in the center of the abdomen, around the navel (belly button). It is one of the nine regions.

Determine the relative position: The term 'inferior' refers to a location below another structure. Therefore, the region inferior to the umbilical region will be directly below it.

Locate the hypogastric (pubic) region: The hypogastric region is the abdominal region located inferior to the umbilical region. It is also referred to as the pubic region and contains structures such as the urinary bladder and parts of the small intestine.

Compare with other options: The left hypochondriac region is superior and lateral to the umbilical region, the right lumbar region is lateral to the umbilical region, and the epigastric region is superior to the umbilical region. Thus, the hypogastric region is the correct answer.
