Which motion is defined as "touching an opposite finger with the thumb"?

Adduction
Opposition
Plantar flexion
Rotation

The correct answer is: Adduction

Adduction is the correct answer because it specifically refers to the motion of bringing a body part closer to the midline of the body, such as touching an opposite finger with the thumb. The other options are incorrect because they do not involve touching an opposite finger with the thumb. Option B, opposition, refers to the motion of the thumb and fingers moving towards each other, not necessarily touching. Option C, plantar flexion, describes the motion of pointing the toes downward and Option D, rotation, refers to the movement of a body part around its own axis. These movements do not involve touching an opposite finger with the thumb. Overall, Adduction is the most specific and accurate option for the defined motion.
