What is the widest area of the head called?

  1. Crown

  2. Parietal ridge

  3. Nape

  4. Forehead

The correct answer is: Parietal ridge

The widest area of the head is known as the parietal ridge. The crown refers to the top of the head, the nape refers to the back of the head, and the forehead refers to the front of the head. These options are not as wide as the parietal ridge, making them incorrect choices. Therefore, the parietal ridge is the widest area of the head.
