Which description matches lordosis?

Explanation:
Lordosis is an inward (anterior) curvature of the spine, most evident in the lumbar region and also in the cervical spine, with hyperlordosis meaning this curve is exaggerated. Describing the lumbar spine as having an abnormal anterior curvature (sway-back) directly identifies that inward bend characteristic of lordosis, which is why this option fits. The other descriptions point to different spinal alignments: posterior curvature of the lumbar spine would be kyphosis, lateral curvature of the thoracic spine is scoliosis, and an acute curvature of the cervical spine is not the standard way to describe lordosis.
