The latissimus dorsi must be 'pulling' its weight during the lat pulldown. Get it? Pulling its weight? *crickets*

Lateral raises? Really? That's targeting the deltoids, not the latissimus dorsi. This is an easy one - lat pulldown for sure.

Ha! The latissimus dorsi powering the bench press? I don't think so. It's all about the pecs during those exercises.

The latissimus dorsi is definitely the main muscle working during lat pulldowns.

I was debating between the lat pulldown and the incline bench press, but the lat pulldown makes the most sense. The latissimus dorsi is responsible for that pulling motion.

The incline bench press focuses more on the chest and shoulders.

Not quite, the latissimus dorsi is not the prime mover during the flat bench press.

I'm not sure, but I think it's D) incline bench press because it also works the back muscles.

I agree with Tarra, because lat pulldown targets the latissimus dorsi muscle.
