Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thigh adductors are muscles that bring the thigh towards the midline of the body. The muscles in option C, gracilis, adductor longus, and adductor magnus, are all thigh adductors. Additionally, adductor magnus also functions as a pelvic elevator on the same side (ipsilateral) at the hip joint. The muscles in the other options either do not adduct the thigh or do not function as pelvic elevators.
