a. Right breech presentation
b. Right occipital anterior presentation
c. Left sacral anterior presentation
d. Left occipital transverse presentation

HINTS:
If the infant is positioned in the right occiput anterior presentation, the FHTs will be located in the right lower quadrant, so answer B is incorrect.

If the fetus is in the sacral position, the FHTs will be located in the center of the abdomen, so answer C is incorrect.

If the FHTs are heard in the left lower abdomen, the infant is most likely in the left occiput transverse position, making answer D incorrect.
