Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Sims position is when the body is lying on the left side with the right knee and thigh flexed, which matches the description given in the question. The Fowler position involves the head of the bed being elevated at a 45 to 60-degree angle, the anatomic position is when the body is standing upright with arms at the sides and palms facing forward, and the supine position is when the body is lying face up on the back. None of these positions match the description given in the question.
