A. Lamina 5
B. Lamina 7
C. Lamina 9 
D. Lamina 10
A

C. Lamina 9

Lamina IX – location of the alpha motor neurons; there is a topographic organization of motor neurons, with motor neurons to extensor muscles placed more anteriorly and flexor motor neurons more posteriorly in Lamina IX of the anterior horn. https://www.dartmouth.edu/~rswenson/NeuroSci/chapter_5.html)

(from Carpenters)
Lamina IX – consists of several distinct groups of somatic motor neurons; the large somatic motor cells of the anterior horn w/c innervate striae muscles are referred to as alpha motor neurons.
