well...its not about where they happen most often... 
I think it might be supplementary motor area... 
reason being that it's the nearest to foot area...
that was my semi educated guesss 
I hope somebody can explain it better

Primary motor cortex is a straight forward answer. SMA is a potential DD.
However SMA seizures usually occur in sleep and often bilateral with preserved sensorium.
b,c options are way off the mark
