Lateral pterygoid muscle on the opposite sideBoth the lateral and medial pterygoid musclesLateral pterygoid muscle on the same sideSimultaneous contraction of both lateral pterygoid musclesMedial pterygoid muscle on the opposite side

Explanation

Lateral movement of the condyle involves the coordinated action of both the lateral and medial pterygoid muscles. These muscles work together to produce the side-to-side motion of the jaw, rather than the action of a single muscle alone.
