The correct term for the lower abdomen is commonly referred to as "Hypogastric." This term specifically describes the region located below the stomach (gastric region) and is part of the anatomical divisions of the abdomen. The hypogastric area is typically associated with several important organ systems, including the reproductive and urinary systems.

The term "Inguinal/Pubis" refers to the groin area and the pubic region, which are more specific locations and do not encompass the entirety of the lower abdomen. In contrast, while "Abdominal" encompasses the entire abdominal cavity, it does not specifically pinpoint the lower section. "Pelvic" refers to the area around the pelvis, which includes but is not limited to the lower abdomen. Thus, "Hypogastric" accurately identifies this specific part of the abdomen.
