Answer: D

Explanation:

In the tissue-mimicking phantom image, Option D (blue box) is used to evaluate transverse distance measurement accuracy. Phantoms are used to simulate human tissue and provide a standardized way to test the accuracy and precision of ultrasound machines. Transverse distance measurement accuracy is assessed by measuring known distances between targets in the phantom. The blue box (Option D) typically contains targets positioned to specifically test the accuracy of transverse measurements, ensuring that the ultrasound system provides reliable and precise distance readings.
