I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. This pose is known as Contrapposto. It is used in the visual arts to describe a human figure standing with most of its weight on one foot so that its shoulders and arms twist off-axis from the hips and legs. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
