Answer 1

The four standard rifle-firing positions are prone, standing, kneeling, and supine. The correct answer is prone position.

Step-by-step explanation:

The four standard rifle-firing positions are:

1. Prone position: The person is lying face down with their upper limbs extended out and lower limbs touching at the sides.
2. Standing position: The person is standing facing the observer with their upper limbs extended out at a ninety-degree angle from the torso and lower limbs in a wide stance.
3. Kneeling position: This position is not listed in the options, but it involves the person kneeling with one knee on the ground, supporting the rifle.
4. Supine position: This position is not listed in the options, but it involves the person lying face up with their upper limbs, including palms, touching the sides and lower limbs touching at the sides.

Therefore, of the options given, the correct answer is a) Prone position.
