    A. To aid flexion of the knee
    Explanation
    The function of the hamstrings is to aid in the flexion of the knee. The hamstrings are a group of muscles located at the back of the thigh, consisting of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus muscles. When these muscles contract, they help to bend the knee joint, allowing for flexion of the knee. This action is important for activities such as walking, running, and jumping, as it allows for the movement of the lower leg in relation to the upper leg.

When the bicep contracts, it pulls on the radius bone in the forearm, causing the forearm to rotate and the elbow joint to flex. This movement allows for actions such as lifting objects and bringing the hand towards the shoulder. The other muscles listed, the brachioradialis and flexor carpi radialis, are not directly involved in these actions.
