The correct answer to this question is Gracilis. This muscle is found in the groin. There are four other muscles in the grown, which include the pectineus, adductor longus, adductor brevis, and adductor Magnus. They all have different functions.

The purpose of the gracilis is to help with flexing the knee and hip adduction. Like all muscles, the gracilis can go through pain. Ways to help with this pain, including icing the thigh, compressing the thigh, and taking pain killers. The gracilis muscle is known as the thighs most superficial muscle. It is thin and broad.
