The correct answer is A.
Most of the venous drainage of the skin of the lower extremity is to the long saphenous vein, the accompanying lymphatics of which drain into the superficial group of the inguinal lymph nodes. However, the skin drained by the short saphenous vein, including that of the lateral aspect of the dorsum of the foot, is an exception to this rule. Lymphatic fluid from this area drains into lymphatics accompanying the short saphenous vein, then drains into lymph nodes behind the knee in the popliteal fossa.
The lateral side of the thigh (choice B), the medial side of the leg below the knee (choice C), the medial side of the sole of the foot (choice D), and the medial side of the thigh (choice E) all drain to the superficial inguinal nodes.
