The adductor magnus attaches to both the pubis and ischium, and inserts onto the linea aspera of the femur. Option A describes the attachment of the hamstring muscle group (specifically the biceps femoris) to the ischial spine and linea aspera. Option C describes the attachment of the rectus femoris muscle to the AIIS and patella, and option D describes the attachment of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles to the pes anserine tendon at the proximal anteromedial tibia.
