Answer 1

III, IV, V and VI only

Explanation:

The pulse points of the lower limb are:

• III. Posterior tibial (behind the medial malleolus)
• IV. Dorsalis pedis (on the dorsum of the foot)
• V. Femoral (in the groin)
• VI. Popliteal (behind the knee)

Brachial (I) and Radial (II) are pulse points of the upper limb, not the lower limb.
