Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term 'posterior' refers to the back of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Back.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Topmost' and 'Lowermost' do not specifically refer to the back of the body, and 'Front' is the opposite of 'Back.'

It indicates what is likely to happen in terms of their recovery or overall condition following the accident. Therefore, the correct meaning of the underlined word is the expected outcome, which is option A.
