C Correct answer
Explanation

Flank means the side of something, such as the side of an army (military context), the side of an animal, or the side area of a building. While 'border' and 'projecting edge' are related concepts, the primary and most direct meaning of flank is 'side' - it refers specifically to a lateral position or the right or left side of something.
