The nape is located where on the body?

  1. At the back part of the neck below the occipital bone

  2. On the side of the head

  3. At the front near the forehead

  4. Above the ears

The correct answer is: At the back part of the neck below the occipital bone

The nape is located at the back part of the neck, specifically below the occipital bone. This is the region where the back of the head meets the top of the neck. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they are not located at the back part of the neck. Option B mentions the side of the head, option C mentions the front near the forehead, and option D mentions above the ears. These locations are not considered the nape.
