Which position describes a person lying on their back?

  1. Fowler's position

  2. Lateral position

  3. Prone position

Prone position (C) is when a person is lying face down. Supine position (D) is when a person is lying on their back. So, among the options given, only supine position accurately describes the person lying on their back.
