In the nine-region scheme, which region lies to the right of the epigastric region?

In the nine-region scheme, the abdomen is divided into three columns (left, middle, right) and three rows (upper, middle, lower). The epigastric region sits in the upper row, middle column. The region immediately to its right is the upper row, right column—the right hypochondriac region. That's why this is the correct choice. The other regions lie to the left, in the middle, or in the middle row, not to the right of the epigastric region.
