Whoa, this is a tricky one. Pregnant women shouldn't be doing the 'Downward Dog' yoga pose - that's for sure!

Hmm, I'm torn between A) Prone and B) Supine. Pregnancy is no time for doing the 'dead bug' exercise!

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.
