A plie is a ballet term that describes a movement where the dancer bends the knees while maintaining proper alignment with the back straight. This position helps to strengthen the legs and prepare the dancer for jumps. It does not specifically involve the arms being extended at right angles to the side or the seat being tucked, but it is the closest match to the description given, especially in terms of the bending of the knees. Other options like releve, attitude, and lunge have different specific meanings in dance that do not fully match the description provided.
