  1. Both chiefly extend the elbow
  2. Biceps extends; triceps flexes
  3. Both chiefly flex the elbow
  4. Biceps flexes; triceps extendsRespuesta correcta

Explicación

At the elbow, the biceps contributes to flexion, which decreases the angle, while the triceps contributes to extension, which increases it. Reversing those roles confuses the opposing actions of this familiar muscle pair.
