     D. Incomplete

    

    

Correct Answer: D. Incomplete

Breech presentation means the buttocks of the fetus is the presenting part. If it is only the foot/feet, it is considered footling. If only the buttocks, it is a frank breech. If both the feet and the buttocks are presenting it is called complete breech.

---

Option A: The footling breech can have any combination of one or both hips extended, also known as footling (one leg extended) breech, or double footling breech (both legs extended).

Option B: In a frank breech, the fetus has flexion of both hips, and the legs are straight with the feet near the fetal face, in a pike position.

Option C: The complete breech has the fetus sitting with flexion of both hips and both legs in a tuck position.
