ANS: B
The normal angle of femoral torsion in adults is 10  to 15  but may vary by source to as much as 30 . This angle is measured by looking at the angle between the axis through the femoral head and neck, and the axis through the femoral condyles. A pathological increase in the angle of torsion is called anteversion.
