B) on the lateral side of the dorsal surface near the neck
C) on the midline of the dorsal surface just anterior to the tail
D) on the lateral side of the ventral surface near the umbilical cord

Accepted Answer

The first incision when dissecting a pig should be made on the midline of the ventral surface at the base of the neck. This allows access to the thoracic and abdominal cavities, which are the main areas of interest in the dissection.
