Answer 1

For naming a muscle group under the arms that creates a bending motion when contracting, the term "subflexion" would be most appropriate. This term suggests a bending action in a specific region of the body, which aligns with the function you're describing.

The other terms you've provided, such as "biceps brachii" and "latissimus dorsi," refer to specific existing muscles in the human body, while "supraabduction" doesn't accurately convey the bending motion described. Therefore, "subflexion" would be the best choice among the options.
