The extensor digitorum brevis muscle is an extensor muscle located on the dorsum of the foot. Its most medial part attaches onto the dorsal aspect of the base of the proximal phalanx of the big toe and is therefore given a separate name, which is extensor hallucis brevis. The other options are not correct as they are either different muscles or attach to different bones in the foot.
