The correct answer is: Base up most minus

This term refers to the position of a lens when the lens is orientated in a position where the base (thicker part) is facing up and the power of the lens is minus. Understanding this acronym is crucial for opticians when working with various lens prescriptions and understanding how lenses should be positioned in eyeglass frames.
