Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the swing phase of walking, the left lower extremity swings forward while the body weight is supported by the right lower extremity in a single leg stance. In order to maintain balance, the right hip undergoes a backward rotation in the horizontal plane, which allows the center of gravity to remain over the supporting leg. Therefore, the correct answer is backward rotation (C).
