In which position is a person lying on their spine?

Prone
Supine
Seated
Fetal

The correct answer is: Supine

When a person is lying on their spine, they are in a supine position. This term specifically refers to the orientation of an individual lying flat on their back with the face and torso facing up. This position is commonly used in various activities and assessments, including medical examinations, exercise regimens, and yoga practices. The other terms refer to different positions: prone indicates lying on the stomach, seated means sitting upright, and fetal describes a curled position lying on one's side, resembling a fetus. Thus, supine is the correct term for someone lying on their spine.
