Explanation Explanation/justification for the correct answer: Option (a)serratus posterior superior: The serratus posterior superior muscle is located at the back and upper part of the thorax and lies beneath the rhomboids. This muscle is involved in the elevation of the second rib to the fifth rib during respiration and thus, does not act on the vertebral column. Explanation for incorrect answer: Option (b) Iliocostalis : Iliocostalis thoracic muscle originates from upper ends of cranial edges of ribs and controls sideways bending of the vertebral column. Thus, it acts on the vertebral column. Option (c) longissimus: Longissimus thoracis attaches to the vertebral column through its fibers and arises from sacrospinalis muscle as its largest and middle division...
