The answer is the last one: palms facing backward.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Standing erect: This is correct. The anatomical position requires the body to be standing upright.
  2. Arms at the sides: This is correct. In the anatomical position, the arms should be relaxed and at the sides of the body.
  3. Feet slightly apart: This is correct. The feet should be slightly apart to provide a stable base.
  4. Toes forward: This is correct. The toes should be pointing forward in the anatomical position.
  5. Palms facing backward: This is NOT correct. In the anatomical position, the palms should be facing forward, not backward.

Summary: The anatomical position is characterized by the body standing erect, arms at the sides, feet slightly apart, toes pointing forward, and palms facing forward. Therefore, "palms facing backward" is not correct for the anatomical position.
