Semimembranosus insertion?

Explanation:
Semimembranosus inserts on the posteromedial aspect of the proximal tibia, specifically near the medial condyle. This placement lets the tendon pull the tibia medially during knee flexion and assists with stabilizing the medial knee, with fibers that also connect to the knee capsule and medial meniscus. The other options don’t fit because the tendon does not attach to the lateral tibial condyle, the ankle’s medial malleolus, or the head of the fibula (that one belongs to the short head of the biceps femoris).
