Which item is a component of the hand?

• A. Palm
• B. Wrist
• C. Knee
• D. Elbow

Answer: (A)

Think about what makes up the hand: the palm is the broad central region from which the fingers extend and is defined as part of the hand itself. The wrist is the joint that connects the hand to the forearm, not a main portion of the hand. The knee belongs to the leg and the elbow to the arm, not the hand. So the palm is the component that belongs to the hand.
