Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Scoliosis is a lateral-S- or C-shaped spinal column with vertebral rotation.

Answer: E
An exaggeration of the anterior convex curve of the lumbar spine is known as lordosis, not a postural abnormality associated with scoliosis.

Answer: F
An increased convexity in the curvature of the thoracic spine is known as kyphosis, not a postural abnormality associated with scoliosis.

The other choices (B, C, and D) are not associated with scoliosis.
