In the ABC method, which depth corresponds to label A?

• A. Superficial
• B. Mid-depth
• C. Near the chest wall
• D. Deep within tissue

Answer: (A)

In the ABC method for describing depth in breast assessments, the labels progress from the surface inward. The first level on the scale is the closest to the skin, which is described as superficial. As you move down the scale, you get mid-depth and then deep near the chest wall. So the depth tied to the first label is superficial, with the others representing increasingly deeper positions. This ordering helps guide examination and biopsy approaches based on how far a lesion sits from the skin.
