Verified step by step guidance

Understand the types of anatomical planes: Transverse, Frontal, and Sagittal. A transverse plane divides the body into upper and lower parts, a frontal plane divides it into front and back parts, and a sagittal plane divides it into left and right parts.

Recognize that a parasagittal plane is a type of sagittal plane that is offset from the midline, meaning it does not divide the body into equal left and right halves.

Consider how a parasagittal plane can intersect only one leg. Since it is offset from the midline, it can pass through one side of the body, intersecting only one leg.

Visualize the body and the placement of the parasagittal plane. Imagine the plane running parallel to the midline but positioned to one side, allowing it to intersect only one leg.

Conclude that a parasagittal plane is the correct choice for intersecting only one leg, as it can be positioned to pass through one side of the body without affecting the other leg.
