A 45 to 60-degree angle allows for improved chest expansion and ventilation. Choice A (60 to 90-degree angle) is too upright and may cause discomfort. Choices C (25 to 40-degree angle) and D (15 to 30-degree angle) are too low to achieve the desired lung expansion and may not provide adequate support for breathing. Thus, B is the most suitable option for the Fowler's position.
