Explanation:

The logical diangosis would be d. Atrophy of the flexor digiti minimi.

Flexor digiti minimi is a hypothenar muscle of that is used when we flex our little toe of the foot.Present at the metacarpophalangeal joint. When the foot is in anatomical position, it is lateral to the abductor digiti minimi. it is homologous to digiti minimi in the hands.

Hence, Atrophy of the flexor digiti minimi is necessary.
