The most likely site of injury in a case of median nerve palsy in the left hand is the median nerve itself, as it is responsible for innervating the muscles of the forearm that control wrist flexion and finger movements. The other nerve options listed - dorsal scapular, intercostal, and lumbar plexus - are all unlikely to cause median nerve palsy. The radial nerve also innervates muscles of the forearm, but it is not the nerve responsible for median nerve palsy.
