Which term means 'passed'?

Explanation:
In ballet terminology, passe means "passed." It describes the moment when the working foot moves up and passes the knee of the supporting leg, often finishing near the knee in a retirer or passé position to create a clean line. This passing action is the defining idea of the term. The other options describe height or a closed/firm position rather than the action of passing the knee, so they don’t convey this specific meaning.
