Which reflex areas on the plantar surface are commonly associated with digestive organs?

• A. Heart, Lungs, and Kidneys
• B. Stomach/Digestive Area, Liver, and Intestines/Colon
• C. Brain, Spinal Cord, and Nerves
• D. Muscles of the Foot

Answer: (B)

In reflexology, the soles contain map-like zones that correspond to different body systems. For the digestive system, the key reflex areas on the plantar surface are the stomach/digestive area, the liver, and the intestines/colon. These regions are traditionally targeted because they’re thought to correspond to the organs involved in digestion and to support digestive function when stimulated.

This is why that option is the best fit: it directly names the regions linked to digestive organs. The other options point to areas associated with the heart, lungs, kidneys (cardiopulmonary and urinary systems), the brain/spinal cord/nerve system, or the muscles of the foot (musculoskeletal structures), none of which are the digestive reflex zones.
