Taylor Justice · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Skinfold thickness is typically measured at four sites: triceps, biceps, subscapular, and suprailiac. Of these sites, the triceps is typically considered the most reliable and reproducible site for measurement. The quadriceps, gastrocnemius, and gluteus maximus are not commonly used sites for skinfold measurement.
