The question asks for the correct description of the sagittal plane.
The provided answer option states: "Parallel to median/midsagittal plane on either side of the 2 equal parts."
In anatomical terms, the sagittal plane is any vertical plane that runs parallel to the median (midsagittal) plane. The midsagittal plane itself divides the body into left and right halves that are equal in size. Any sagittal plane that is parallel to this midline will pass to one side of the midline and will generally separate the body into unequal left and right portions.
This means: 
- It is parallel to the median/midsagittal plane, not necessarily exactly the same plane. 
- It can lie on either side of the two equal parts, creating left and right sections that are not necessarily equal.
The other potential options (if any) would typically describe planes that are frontal (coronal), transverse (axial), or oblique, or would misstate the relationship to the midsagittal plane. Since no other options are provided in the prompt, the given description is the correct characterization for a sagittal plane as it relates to being parallel to the midsagittal plane and located on either side of equal parts.
In summary, the sagittal plane is any vertical plane parallel to the midsagittal plane, positioned to the left or right of the midline, and it may or may not divide the body into equal halves depending on its exact location.
