D) On all fours (hands and knees) seems like the best option. It keeps the pregnant woman's weight off her back and allows for proper alignment.

I think the answer is B) Supine. Lying on your back during pregnancy can cause the uterus to compress the vena cava, reducing blood flow.

I agree with Terrilyn, lying on your back can reduce blood flow to the baby.
